Very delicious, that's what everyone says when it costs three times
more per ounce than chicken. I've eaten quail... they're all about
presentation... disgusting greasy mouse-like things with nothing to
eat, the emporer's new clothes of poultry. Dining on quail folks
feign politeness same as when served way over priced hors doovers. I'd
much rather a brace of tube steak. The last time I was served quail I
left them on my plate untouched, not worth struggling to eat. Any
woman on her wedding night discovers her groom has a quail sized
peepee wouldn't stop laughing all the way to divorce court.
