We got our first quail eggs. I tried out my egg scissors and then fried the egg. Interesting flavor, fried in butter with a dash of salt and pepper.

we had Bobwhite quail last year. They live in the wild here. We raised ours to adulthood, ate a few, and released the others. You have notbeen scared properly until you accidentally jump a cubby of quail while taking a nice quiet nature walk. Back to the chefs and quail eggs. My husband thought that was the coolest thing ever. Watching chefs on Chopped use quail eggs.

So who’s gonna tell me about quail?

I've never ate quail eggs, but quail is basically the personal pan pizza of poultry. It requires a bit of finesse since it tends to dry out quickly. It has a slight gamey taste, but not as much as guinea or pheasant. This past Thanksgiving, I made my cornbread dressing with a guinea instead of a Cornish hen and it was AMAZING.

I remember so little about quail, I think they would completely fit inside a measuring cup.
It’s amazing how hard it is to find anything helpful on BYC. At least on the mobile site. I suppose I should switch devices.

I don't use it on a mobile device...gotta keep things simple, so I use a desktop.

The eggs taste kind of earthy and rich compared to chicken eggs. You need 3 quail eggs to equal 1 chicken egg, but quail eggs are nutritionally superior.

It's been a while since I've had quail but the taste reminded me of dove...as Audu mentioned, it's slightly gamey but delicious!!! However, those were wild, these aren't and I've never had farm raised so I don't know what to expect.

I can’t decide if it’s Mexican or Chinese. Chin-can? Mexese?
Fajita style chicken strips coated Chinese style, on a flour tortilla with brown rice, and Walnut Chicken sauce.

I’m not certain that I’m going to go with quail, but I only have one chicken hen left, and while I have three duck hens, I don’t eat their eggs too often. I need something, so it’s the right time to consider quail. I do like jalapeño/hot pickled eggs, and quail eggs are perfect for it. I also feel awful that Duckling’s trio of bantam lavender Ams are all dead now. The quail-if I get some- can be hers.
