can you eat peacock eggs

Yes, peacock eggs (more accurately called peafowl or peahen eggs, since peacocks are male and do not lay eggs) are edible. They are safe to eat and similar in taste to chicken eggs but larger, with a thicker shell and a yolk that is sweeter and constitutes a bigger proportion of the egg. Peahens typically lay only 4 to 8 eggs at a time, twice a year, making their eggs rare and quite expensive. People who have tasted peacock eggs describe them as delicious and comparable to chicken eggs, though some note a richer, creamier, or slightly different flavor depending on diet. These eggs are not commonly found commercially, so they are mostly consumed by specialty breeders or enthusiasts. Cooking with peacock eggs is similar to cooking chicken eggs, such as making omelets or scrambled eggs.
