RE: Quail Eggs fried to perfection.
I just tried quail eggs for the first time this past Thanksgiving while eating out at a Japanese restaurant! One was soft-boiled with bacon wrapped around it (delicious) and the other was... raw. I couldn't handle the raw lol! Fried looks pretty good too!
Yes, boiled they are so sweet and tiny! I am next going to boil up a batch and and pickle them. Mmm I love pickle! They are so addictive, the quail I mean. I realized I could start saving up the eggs I am now getting to set already for more to add to the flock. I saw the 'roos' doing their job yesterday morning. I was going to wait for one of my hens to go broody, but I might be getting out the incubator tonight and getting it up to temp and set a few days worth. And some of them are so sweet, they come up to me, look up at me and sit on my lap. I had hopes of using some as a meat source, but I don't think it could ever be the main cluster i have now that I hatched and get eggs from. They are too sweet. Maybe if I raise some in a larger light pen, so they are more wild, I wouldn't feel as bad to eat them. I love quail to eat, it's one of my favorite after duck and pheasant, but right up there. Sorry, I will never shut up about birds! ;)
