So, today I found some ostrich eggs. In my greengrocers, in an arcade in Mt Lawley, Perth. What are ostrich eggs doing here? I am intrigued. OK, I've seen ostriches - on the television, in books, maybe at the zoo (though not totally sure of that), but never seen an ostrich egg. Emu eggs, yes. Emus, yes. Emus are part of this dry continent. But ostriches? I swear, it's globalization gone bananas - well, not bananas though they're not native, cropped here - maybe ostriches are as well.
I am guessing they weren't 'locally' grown though! I've not seen any ostriches wandering round the joint. OK, haven't actually seen any emus wandering up the road either, but I'm still more likely to see an emu than an ostrich!
