I watch way to much Food Network . When I was given the opportunity to buy some quail eggs recently, I could not pass them up. Where I have had quail in my life - it reminds me more of duck than chicken since the meat tends to be darker - I've never had quail eggs. The hedonist in me demanded that I buy them. Plus they came from a local breeder with a good reputation. I am slowly but surely moving towards a plant based diet, but I'm not willing to give up all animal products yet. Quail eggs are tiny, it takes about 2 to 5 quail eggs to equal the same amount of chicken eggs (depending on several factors) but, generally speaking, the quail egg tends to be a healthier (and more expensive) choice. Let's talk about the cost first before I get into nutritional value and what I decided to do with these little beauties. I paid five dollars for 24 eggs. That work...
