Poultry
Toulouse Goose
B tier
Toulouse goose eggs are massive, thick-shelled eggs from the heavy French grey goose, with deep richness suited to Gascon farmhouse cooking when available. Production is limited—Toulouse birds are famous for meat and fattening, not laying contests. Scale recipes by weight; the yolk is abundant and golden. A spring luxury from specialty goose keepers rather than a weekly carton item.
