Russian Delicacy of No-Shell Chicken Eggs?
A co-worker told me today about his Russian born mother's favourite childhood treat that she sorely wishes she could get here in Canada.
Apparently, there's a stage in a chicken egg's development before it's laid and before the shell is hardened at which they are very tasty in a unique sort of way. You don't harvest them from live chickens but only find them by chance while butchering them. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? Was she pulling his leg? Eggs without shells? I can't even imagine it, but I'm fascinated.

I believe I made a thread on this.
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/tilted-...ods-world.html #1 is Balut, a Filipino dish that sounds a lot like what you're describing. |

I don't think so. I believe he was talking about unfertilized eggs just about ready to be laid. Baluts are fertilized and incubated outside the body for awhile.
I'll ask for clarification. For the record, I could never eat a balut but maybe what my co-worker is talking about.

I thought I might have heard of something like that but I can't recall, really. But I want to mention another weird egg recipe. I used to see these when I pass by Chinatown in New York, and I always wanted to try it. But I was always too scared of them.

His best bet may be to find a Filipino restaurant that serves arroz caldo. Find their supplier. They generally come with gizzard and the egg sac.
It all looks absolutely disgusting uncooked, but makes a nice soup. The eggs are indeed premature, unfertile hen eggs.
