The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains these words:

I don't know about the gladioli, but I went of goggling about eggs :

"Hard Boiled Egg: A medium sized emu egg will take approximately 1hour
45minutes
to cook"

And 1 ostrich egg makes a delicious ommelette for 12 people.

When my bro' was out in Sudan with Tiny Rowland's gang he used to buy
bustards' eggs in the market, usually three each.

The trick was to tap on the egg. If it tapped back, you didn't boil it.
You then cooked the other two, and hoped not to find an embryo in one of
them.
