So apparently here in the UK, eating gull’s eggs is a thing; a rather prestigious thing.
The season for the black-headed gull’s eggs is incredibly short and each speckled beauty will set you back £7. Luckily friends of mine attended a gull’s egg luncheon and smuggled me back a couple to try.
The verdict? Small and eggy. All eggs I have tried taste very similar. They taste like eggs. The only differences are nuances in texture and richness. The white was silky and soft and the yolk was quite rich in flavour and deep in colour.
You’d need about 10 to make a bowl of scrambled eggs. A bowl of £70 scrambled eggs. But of course, darling.
