while there more like ostriches have eggs its about 24 chicken eggs one full ostrich egg and it tastes similar i think its very fluffy thats my opinion so its actually a different chicken but tastes good hen egg about a year old set they are fully grown and will lay an egg every two or three days we put them in the incubator and normally 42 days later we will start to have checks but anytime you have 350 birds hmm okay where do we go now so i'm not going to let you in? with Red but I've got some younger guys you could work with yeah okay we're pretty out of season but how he's flapping his wings in there not the happiest kind of guy you know I can take a bucket and you can feed some animals if we walk over here where we feed them they might come these are the good boys oh watch him run so these boys here are four to six months old they like to bite you yeah what they do is they like i'll just come and peck oh let's see where if i could get a straight kaja bucket I gave up on us so now it's just me and the ostrich recessions ostriches just me and the ostrich is running around like crazy pull some more that's well then let's go boys and girls are very curious oh yes let's go Oh they are fast I've been told to think up to 45,000 it's like a car remember I would wake up to 300 ostrich today the new day Todd made me feel like everything it was going to be fine.

cook

ing with ostrich eggs the next day.

I'm going to have breakfast, but hey, good morning guys, that's a bigger box than I'm used to. rocks, do you know what's underneath? Just tell me it's not a dead ostrich, you're all looking at me with crazy eyes. I'm going crazy. Okay, oh my gosh, oh excuse me, this is a big box of ostrich eggs. I got that drink, well yeah, there's a little bit of alcohol in it. I can usually start my show off with a cocktail every day, Spicy Grapefruit, Shandy, Bev little brunch. 12 ostrich eggs well actually fry an egg no problem so you find like the world's biggest pan how about an Upham pie what's that 16 or 18 inches are you sure that's enough big based on breaking this?

I cracked an empty ostrich egg yesterday and it wasn't easy maybe not on the glass ok oh it's a thick membrane guys I'm having a family meal we all share one egg what do you got oh oh that's a really sad amount of comedy. I'm

cook

ing my egg, yes. let's crumble it on top we'll make something that's for you the people outside of it This feels like an appropriate size spoon ok I'm just going to use large utensils. I just want everything to feel like it's to scale, except me. I feel like you're terrified to eat this because this is like all the things I feel. like it really bothers you it's like it's a little out of line for me okay well here we get nasty as good as three scoops we should make tacos we should make we should make it we should make it we could try and make the world's greatest tortilla so we can make a big piss taco because we have all this salsa left over from when Rick was developing a taco story but of course we didn't have an ostrich egg sized tortilla so I had to get Sola and her involved really came close to the plate so I feel like the tortilla should be like that ok it's doom time for this today so it seemed like the stars aligned and we just needed duck carnitas and ostrich egg tacos. how many cups of flour did you use total we just tossed the recipe ok so a small bowl handful of baking soda salt and then how big feels good yeah trace this ok it looks like it's her yeah I think we did quite a bit unless I finally sliced ​​radish but maybe it's like a turnip so it's like we have a second like we have daikon here I think we just go with cilantro oh I hope That the yoke we're going to fake like that didn't happen, oh wow, I'm so impressed.

I like a good color so definitely give me the weirdest thing I've ever had Avocado Tomato Salsa oh it's so smooth sprinkle on some Juanita go that's why it's ok it's beautiful it's beautiful oh it really looks like a breakfast taco oh that wasn't it the one the right way i think it's more like a pizza pie chairs here i'm not bad there's a good one though it was delicious question mark sorry we fried an egg this is going to say poach an egg scramble an egg or make an omelette make an omelette oh man oh well Andy sorry but I won't just ne I have a dream to scramble these eggs and serve them John Jour style with a hollowed out ostrich egg topped with whipped cream and caviar ok now I'm making a John George, uh, totally derailed all day.

I don't, but that's the joy of the show, it's like you just keep going. It's really something very old school. It is served out of the shell. they're cooked i'll spoon them back in so that's ok oh something so nasty about that look at all the reactions back there there is something wrong with the size of this egg yeah this membrane is as thick as a bag ziploc i'm just rinsing it out so there's no yolk inside that little baby season these bad boys go up this bad boy typically in the john george like custard and scrambled eggs there's two tablespoons of butter for four eggs so i'm going to make sticks and a half of the butter 3/4 of it melted just to help start and then I'll beat the last quarter of what it took done ok I'm going to dig for the heavy cream and find caviar don't look at me just because you don't like my egg of ostrich new thick cream and caviar.

I knew all along that Emily didn't like the ostrich egg vibe, Emily, do you want to eat my scrambled ostrich eggs with caviar? we are making 12 tablespoons of butter in total sorry Andy here we go the goal of this style of egg is the small curds so the constant stirring is breaking up even the possibility of a larger curds including cold butter to the final. to give it like the screen we're going to finish it because it's almost like emulsifying it in the egg it can be a little hard to eat this is a tricky thing okay and we're going to revive this a little bit say it's much better than I like someone want a little caviar egg or all just g this annoyed me and that's ok people were avoiding me.

I think everyone was a little wary of ostrich eggs. How do we do this? I'm not so sure. I had never done this before. it's salmon roe and then underneath it's like eggs super super creamy buttery tasty what can't you like if this was on the table at jean-georges it would cost you a thousand eighty bucks but it's free for you Gabby thank you so much good job I think like a mission accomplished he took this out for people and saw if anyone ate it it was like he saw a ghost i mean that was a bit someone decided to wrap it up in nice white linen but just lovely number six makes eggs benedict . i eat a single muffin benedict obviously thats for poaching is there a large english muffin here they made it good well that was easy i made my english muffin if a standard hollandaise is too much chicken egg yolks - two and a half sticks of butter and im climbing The thing that stressed me out the most was the volume of hollandaise I had to make and I consulted the guys about it guys I just need a quick consult thanks Andy I know how to cross cut it's ok if you had to do it let's call it hollandaise 24 egg yolks and we decided I only needed to make a half batch, you don't need that many holidays for that, no, it's pretty much all there.

I'll do it for you guys I'm just trying to locate just the yoke ok this is mostly yoke I'm not too concerned about it I just said if you think I'm going to heat this up in the oven while I toast. English muffins are ok these go in two fingers thanks they go in 3/4 cup lemon juice there's that blue rind in there it's ok to mix it with three and a half pounds of clarified butter it's kind of droopy already easy so lots of salt like I said I'm transferring this to a different bowl so I can can I have someone help please?

I need you to hold this while I transfer something to it. No no. I'm going to gently lower the poached egg over it. attractive. I wonder if we should try turning it around. I feel like the other side is much better. He looks like an alien. Yes. What came out of that pot after you poached it. It did not resemble the poached chicken egg. we need to cover up that's probably four sticks of butter right there yeah okay kyah oh yeah that completes the look that's what you're looking at think about this it's like I'm terrified of eating it what do you think I'm supposed to give you this oh great , and then you're gonna eat it all holy yeah burn the buds you're my bud all my buds vain wait for me last time I tried to serve we probably can find a mate okay let's grab some buddy yeah It's kind of hard to ignore when someone's making me eggs benedict that's so big this is so sad where are my friends oh so no wonder they finally all came to brunch it's like an outrage in a way like oh you can't turn away the look you don't look weird ok i wonder if a cocktail before i throw some cubes in your cup there's a few cubes in your cup a bud brunch i mean Budweiser's lishus you got the sponsor that was a good n no, this bud's tastes good like a delicious show.

Very well cooked French cocktail, in fact, we broke it and ran out of yolk, but that white. I never want to see a poached ostrich egg white again. Alright. this was poached too, didn't you see me standing on an apple box dropping ostrich eggs into a huge thing? Did you know that ostriches have three stomachs and can run over 70 kilometers per hour? so everyone else is like here we go and there's a charge it's crazy there was like a pen of female ostriches they basically got humped by the male so aggressively they all lost their backs either that's a beautiful form of thanks from today to move on, thank you seriously.

I mean it's not what a morning is yeah I'm fed for a minute I just need a break okay I'd hang out with an ostrich again title holder for world's biggest flour taco dammit I mean, 1,600 pounds, this weighs like 3 pounds.
