last year i bought a welcome mat for my doorstep, and during the rainy weather, a peahen laid an egg on it.
(my apartment complex is overrun with peacocks, and during the rainy season, they tend seek refuge under balconies and awnings.)
well, it's a straw mat, and i think the egg was laid because of the mat's "nesting" qualities. it actually happened twice last year, and i let it alone each time, only to find it had been knocked down the stairs when the peahen attempted to retrieve it.
well, a year later...this morning...i awoke to find yet another peacock egg on my mat. i was leaving to take my son to school and he asked if i would cook it for him. at first i was like, "gross!" and then i thought...well...it IS an egg....?
so i ask you...? could we eat the egg? do people eat peacock eggs??
i'm sure i'll leave it anyway, but the question still remains.
