What does Quail taste like? Not sure if I want to try them or not....

To me, it tastes like dark chicken meat. Which i dont like. But...if you like dark meat...i think you'll like it.

I like it better than chicken. I don't have any right now ( will soon though). I think the white Texas A&M variety is all white meat, the others are dark meat.

I dont care for pheasant, but like quail. (bobwhite) the coturnix taste more like pheasant to me, dark meat. Bobwhite white meat, of course only eat the breast.

These Quail have a more delicate flavor and is prized by all who try them, yes I think you will love the taste. I raise a few dozen every year for the table and really enjoy cooking with them. We have friends over for dinner quite often and when they ask what were having today I say Oven roasted Quail and they show up in droves, a real crowd pleaser.

The Coturnix Quail Have Much Less Flavor That Bobs... Good Just The Same, But Not As Rich And Flavorful As Bobs..

I'd suggest buying some quail meat, and trying a number of different recipes, then. If you're partial to dark meat on a chicken, you'll probably like quail.

Quail's great baked, in a slow cooker, or spiced and grilled.

Okay, so I should go with the Bobwhites since the Coturnix taste more like pheasant, right?

I have never tried duck, as a matter of fact, I really haven't tried much at all other than what I can buy from the grocery store.

But the wild rice and quail does sound good. Maybe with some steamed vegetables on the side with mushrooms.

I'm in a pretty small town and have never seen quail meat for sale.
