You're not supposed to hard-boil an Ostrich egg. Apparently, you should par-boil them and use it like a fondue dip. They cost about seven notes over here, and are approximately 30 times the size of the average chicken egg.

I know some sh*te, me.

Lovely bloody meat though - got a Seth Efriken restaurant near us and they do a wicked line in Ostrich.

How's this for coincidence: Lincoln was elected president in 1860, Kennedy was elected president in 1960. Both men were concerned with civil rights, and both their wives lost children while in the White House. Both were succeeded by men named Johnson whe were Southerners. Andrew Johnson was born in 1808, and Lyndon B. Johnson was born in 1908. Lincoln and Kennedy were both shot in the presence of their wives. Both their assassins were shot before their trials. John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald was born in 1939. Both presidents had been warned of danger before their deaths. Lincoln's secretary, whose name was Kennedy, warned him not to go to the theatre. Kennedy's secretary, whose name was Lincoln, warned him not to go to Dallas. Booth ran from a theatre and was captured in a warehouse. Oswald ran from a warehouse and was captured in a theatre. Amazing but true.
