"I haven&amp;#039;t been able to stop thinking about ostrich egg that Jill used in last week&amp;#039;s episode. I had never even seen an ostrich egg before, and had no idea they were sold in grocery stores. What does one make with an ostrich egg? Can you really just pick one up at the store? I decided to visit Whole Foods to figure it out. There are four Whole Foods in Manhattan, and I figurerd I&amp;#039;d have to check at least two before I found the rare egg. Even Stephanie Izard, last season&amp;#039;s winner, wrote on her blog, &amp;quot;I have to say I have never seen a Whole Foods that carries ostrich eggs.&amp;quot; ) First stop: Whole Foods on 14th Street, in Union Square. (This is not the same Whole Foods visited by the cheftestants in the episode.) And, wouldn&amp;#039;t you know, in the produce section, above the eggplant and beside the duck eggs (which look exactly like chicken eggs), there they were. Ostrich eggs, $39.99 each.  Apparently, one ostrich egg weighs three pounds and is equivalent to 18-24 chicken eggs. You can hard-boil and scramble them just as you would chicken eggs. I&amp;#039;ve never eaten an ostrich egg, nor can I recall seeing one on any restaurant menu out there, so I can&amp;#039;t speak to their taste. Anyone care to share? One final ostrich fun-fact: According to Wikipedia, ostriches reared entirely by humans may not learn to direct their courtship behavior at other ostriches, but instead may do so at their human keepers.
