Brooklyn1's bullshit du jour regarding quail:

little is left! ]

I didn't know what it cost and found it tasty. I guess you'd have a
hard time evaluating flavor with out a receipt in hand.

> I've eaten quail... they're all about presentation...

I've had quail 3 different places. No presentation at all. Another
very blunt point.

Same as clams guess: nothing to eat.

> priced hors doovers.

All the folks I was with, in a Mexican, Vietnamese and Indian places,
feigned nothing, there were no appetizers and it was pretty
inexpensive. Do you have any perspective that doesn't first pivot off
of other people's stupidity?

So your evalution of flavor is nil--you didn't eat it. I suppose crab
and lobster are also stupid people/high prices/too hard to eat. Only a
bowl of beans, probably on the floor, your kinda eats.

Order the cheapest pizza in town with the cheapest beer--just as good,
and you're the only smart guy that keeps them both in business!

They're pretty big these days... something like 2 lbs each.
