I am looking for duck eggs does anyone have any, I tried the butchers but they said they are gone as fast as they come in. We did hear about a farm selling them near Wick but they had none when I went past so I just wondered if any orgers have ducks and would be willing to supply me with a dozen a week?? It's getting funny now cos the more I can't get them the more I want them, hubby thinks it's hilarious......

I can usually get as many duck eggs as I want - but I live near Reading. Try Tescos.

The house is called paremoremo and the sign is not up all the time as she does night shift, so she only puts the sign up when she is not sleeping through the day.

I have got duck and goose eggs from Harrolds butchers in Thurso. I did have to wait a couple of weeks though 'cos they had to get them in and then take them through from the Wick store. They were f-a-b and the kids loved the goose ones! They certainly didn't need two of them.

They are a bit richer than hen eggs, definitely tastier. Goose eggs tend to have huge yolks in them, very yummy on toast.

Yes I've had duck eggs from the house in Bower, I think its Paramoremo. She takes the sign down when she's sleeping after a night shift. They are 75p for half a dozen and absolutely delicious.

75p for 6?? Don't bother with Tescos - they are more expensive.
