This is a true story about eggs. Some years back I was taking an adult education cooking class. One of the students asked the teacher how to cook "a goose or a geese egg". He looked perplexed but then went on to discuss the difference in volume, taste depending on what the birds feed had been and different egg cooking method. The student thank him but continue to refer to a goose or geese egg". The teacher asked why she kept saying "a goose or a geese egg". Her reply was that she wasn't sure if it came from a male or a female. Even the teacher had to bite the inside of his mouth to keep from laughing.
