Though we typically associate turkey with Thanksgiving, it's a popular dish year-round and is the fourth most-consumed meat in the U.S. behind chicken, beef, and pork. Despite this, turkey eggs are missing from the shelves of supermarkets and even specialty grocery stores. But that apparently has nothing to do with their edibility. They reportedly taste just as good as chicken eggs—or even better, according to some people—but the eggs laid by this all-American bird are impractical to produce. 雖然我們通常會把火雞和感恩節聯系在一起,但實際上火雞是一年四季都流行的食物。此外,火雞是美國人食用最多的第四大肉類,前三名分別為雞肉、牛肉和豬肉。盡管火雞如此受歡迎,但是超市貨架,甚至是特色雜貨店里卻不見火雞蛋的蹤跡。據有些人說,火雞蛋和雞蛋一樣美味,甚至比雞蛋還要好-但是讓具有美國特色的火雞下蛋卻非常不具有操作性。 According to Modern Farmer, selling turkey eggs isn't economically feasible for most farmers already raising the birds for slaughter. Mature female turkeys lay a maximum of two eggs per week. Compare that to chickens and ducks, which produce roughly one egg a day. Because turkeys live longer than chickens, they take more time to reach egg-laying age: about 7 months instead of 5. These big birds also need more space and feed to live on a farm than their smaller relatives. Factor in the time and resources required to produce them and turkey eggs end up costing upwards of $3 each, or nearly double the average price of a carton of one dozen chicken eggs. 根據《現代農民》的介紹,出售火雞蛋在經濟上不可行,因為絕大多數農民飼養火雞是用于屠宰的。成熟的母火雞每周最多會下兩顆蛋,而雞和鴨則大概每天就可以下一顆蛋。由于火雞的壽命要比雞長,所以火雞需要花更多的時間才會達到生蛋的年紀:大約需要7個月,而不是5個月。與體格較小的同類相比,這些體型龐大的火雞也需要更多的空間和飼料。考慮到火雞生蛋所需要的時間和所需要消耗的資源,火雞蛋的成本最終會達到3美元1個,或差不多為一盒雞蛋(12個)平均售價的2倍。 Plenty of luxury food items sell for more than $3, but are turkey eggs worth the extravagant cost? People who have sampled the product say they taste similar to the much cheaper chicken egg, which means the answer is probably not. The biggest difference between the two eggs is the size. Turkey eggs are slightly larger; they also have a harder shell and thicker membrane. 有很多高級食品的售價都超過了3美元,那么火雞蛋值這么高的價格嗎?品嘗過火雞的人表示,火雞的味道和價格實惠得多的雞蛋差不多,這就代表上面的回答很可能是否定的。兩種蛋最大的區別就在于大小。火雞蛋更大,火雞蛋的外殼也更堅硬,包裹蛋的薄膜也更厚。 Sample:品嘗、嘗試 According to some connoisseurs, turkey eggs do offer a few advantages over their more affordable counterparts. Their yolks are reportedly richer and creamier, making them ideal for sauces. Victorian-era celebrity chef Alexis Soyer claimed they were also better for baking than chicken eggs. 據有些行家介紹,火雞蛋與雞蛋相比,確實有一些優勢。火雞蛋據說更醇、更濃郁,因此是做醬的理想之選。維多利亞時期的名人Alexis Soyer大廚表示,火雞蛋在烘焙方面也比雞蛋要好。 If you're interested in trying turkey eggs for yourself, they're not impossible to find. Ask your local turkey farm if they sell their birds' eggs. They could be the perfect accompaniment to the breakfast of Thanksgiving leftovers you eat on Friday morning. 如果你想親自品嘗火雞蛋,你還是有機會的。你可以詢問當地的火雞養殖場是否出售火雞蛋。當你在周五早上把感恩節剩余的食物當做早餐時,火雞蛋也許是最完美的搭配。 來源: Mental Floss 編輯&翻譯:Sarah
