@Duenan @CEOofmyhouse56 frozen chicken and pasta with hard boiled quail eggs. Hardest effort was peeling those eggies ๐ฅ
Yum. I think we need to declare this day Monday 10th of July POULTRY DAY ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ฅ๐ฆ๐๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐ฆข๐ฆ๐ฆค๐ฆฉ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ณ
Hehe nice one. The eggs really so sound like a pain to peel being small and all.
Was it tasty?
@Duenan very tasty ๐ I honestly don't know why the technique I use with normal chicken eggs to easily peel them doesn't work with quail eggs.
Technique: boil the eggs starting with boiling water then rinse them in cold water. Works every time.
That's an interesting dish, and it got me thinking, the only time I ever have quail eggs is in hotpot. What's the difference/benefit to them over chicken eggs? I imagine they are way more expensive.
@Force_majeure122 they are more expensive if you compare them weight wise. Nutritionally speaking AFAIK they are higher in just about every nutrition factor compared to a chicken egg but given that you don't really eat them every day it's more of a novelty anyway.
We used to keep quails at home when I was a kid and had their eggs often. Go great with salads
