Like an egg. Depends on how it is prepared.

I tried duck the way I poach my eggs, duck eggs had less white and too rich, but that might be my palate?

They taste like chicken eggs and like rascal says, there is more yolk and less white than chicken eggs and the shell is thicker. The duck eggs that I get are free range and tend to be larger overall.

One thing I have not seen mentioned here is salt cured egg yolks. I don't do them very often, but basically you put a 50/50 mix of salt and plain white sugar in a container, set egg yolks on it, then cover with more of the salt & sugar mix. Stick in the fridge for a few days, maybe a week. Grated on salads, slices in pho or ramen, ...

That is a co-incidence, because I was looking at how to do that yesterday. I will definitely try this.

WOW
I have never heard of that.
Grandmother had Guinea hen. She would pickle the eggs. In local markets you can get jars of pickled quail eggs. In the old days the local bars and honkey tonks would have a gallon jar of pickled eggs on the bar for patrons to snack on.

Pickled eggs (hens eggs) used to be quite common in pubs (bars) over here too.

oh wow, that seems hard to do! The recipes seem simple, but somehow i think i will fail if i try. hahha

It is extremely simple. The hard part is not breaking the yolks open when putting them on the salt bed.
