[Sca-cooks] Is it an Egg or a Goose

[Sharon Gordon]

In Iasmin's wonderful description of the siege cookery dishes, I noticed
that they broke the goose eggs to check for embryo development.

If you want to know if an egg is still an egg without breaking the shell,
you can hold it up to a light, called candling it.  Here's a website that
shows some of the different things you might see.
