My first time.

This seems inhumane, but I will confess - that I had quail eggs for the first time. When I ate quail meat for the first time, I felt as though I was committing a cardinal sin for eating something so tiny and delicate.
I found this photo on Google Images and I apologize that it its a bit graphic. Anyways, here are the eggs that I ate:


I did a bit of research and found that 5 quail eggs is equivalent to 1 chicken egg. Obviously, the yolk-to-white ratio is higher, so the egg was yolkier, creamier, but packed the right amount of panache. Chicken eggs typically make me salivate like a dog who's just eaten peanut butter, but quail eggs didn't have the same effect. Dipped in some sea salt, they were quite alright - but wouldn't some creme fraiche and caviar be wonderful?!

I had this at a Korean sushi restaurant of all places. In fact, it came as a free side dish! That's my Karate target in the background ;)
