Recently someone forwarded a message to this list from a gentle looking for
recipes for quail eggs. I was editing an article by Lady Bonne de Traquair
about an Irish Viking feast that she did and it had the following recipe
for quail eggs. I thought some of you and the orignal requester might be
interested. While this particular recipe uses canned quail eggs, I imagine
they could be done with fresh quail eggs as well. Are the ones in the
cans hard-boiled or raw?
The complete article should be in the FEAST section of the Florilegium
within a week or so as Irish-Vik-fst-art.
