Quail is the collective name for several mid-sized birds in the order galliformes. Quail is a game bird that can be easily obtained via mail order or even in some supermarkets. They are perfect if you crave a nice game bird flavor. I made a little bread stuffing and the four birds made a perfect lunch for Alex and I.
The meat on a quail is dark similar to duck or goose. They are sufficient for a light lunch or as an appetizer but there is not much meat available. If you are adverse to gamey flavors they might not be for you. Alex 7 out of 10, Joe 8 out of 10.
