PENGUIN EGGS

the eggs of the penguin, a bird found in all high southern latitudes, but in especially large numbers along the coasts of Cape Colony, S. A., and the adjacent islands. They resemble large plovers' eggs in texture and flavor and are very rich--so much so that if kept for any length of time it is necessary to turn them over every few days to prevent the yolk from settling. They are eaten by all classes in South Africa, but the expense and risk of transportation makes them a luxury when exported to other countries. They are eaten boiled--twenty minutes being the best boiling time--baked, fried, in salads, etc.
