Subject: Unlaid Eggs
I am searching for recipes that use the unlaid eggs you find in
a hen when she is butchered. I understand that these are usually
put into some kind of soup. Can you help me find a recipe or
recipes that might use these odd little delicacies?
I appreciate your assistance in this!!
Carrie
Hello Carrie,
Hmmm..... that sounds like it's probably an oriental dish. I could
not find any recipe online for such as dish. The only recipe that
I could locate that mentioned the use of unlaid eggs was the gravy
recipe on this page:
red-eye gravy
