Eggs

When we step out to the grocery store for eggs, it is generally expected that the eggs we bring home will have come from a chicken. In other words, egg is the generic term for chicken egg. Duck eggs, goose eggs, and eggs from other fowl and poultry all have their own culinary strengths—so why all this chicken-egg favoritism? As much a coup on the part of modern chicken-egg marketers, this preference goes as far back as 6000 BC in Thailand where the chicken was favored for its abundant egg production.
