Would You Eat Seagull Eggs?
August 27th 2010 06:54
Indigenous populations in the UK, Norway and other Scandinavian countries traditionally eat seagulls eggs served hardboiled with salt. Seagulls lay their eggs on rocky outcrops and offshore islands so it can be a risky job collecting them.
Seagull egg harvesting is severely restricted in the UK with just over a month in which licensed collectors can operate. They have recently become trendy in London restaurants, where they are served poached with artichokes, smoked salmon, caviar or foie gras.
Worldwide there are 50 species of gulls, collectively referred to as seagulls. They inhabit every continent, and practically every significant landmass on the planet.
