Anyone know where they can still be purchased? My, that would be a nice thing to slurp! Thanks. Sun Aug 27 16:22:24 -0700 2000 0 Toby 1 1416775 "Unborn chicken eggs"? What really does that mean? Chicks aren't "born" until the eggs hatch, are they? Anyhow, you may be thinking of quail eggs. They are very tiny indeed.

My Dad waxes poetic about the treat he would have when his mother would purvey a freshly killed hen containing soft,UNLAYED eggs. She would put them in soup and he says the flavor was non pareil.

You can still get them at Sammy's Roumanian, but I'm not sure I've ever seen them for sale in a store. Mon Aug 28 11:45:51 -0700 2000 1416780 0 Pepper 4 1417907 I remember, and concur with the previous post, that unborn eggs were a Jewish thing. Is there evidence, or does anyone have a memory, of non-Jews eating unborn eggs in soup?

Thu Jan 25 10:49:40 -0800 2001 1417907 0 jen kalb 1 1417619 They are available at most chinese meat markets. The one I shop at is on Grand Street between Bowery and Christye in New York. You do have to purchase them in combination with the other chicken viscera which I have not acquired a taste for. But it is relatively cheap. One thing though, it will not taste as good as you remembered. Good Luck. Wed Dec 20 14:18:37 -0800 2000 1416772 0 Bob Deutsch
