Quail
Small game bird used in roasted, stewed and pickled preparations.
About Quail
Quail refers to small game birds used as food, with the exact species and size varying by region and supply. The edible meat is fine-grained and relatively delicate, with darker meat than chicken breast and a savory flavour. A dressed bird is commonly sold whole, sometimes with skin and bones intact.
Quail may be roasted, grilled, braised or stewed, and can also be preserved in pickled preparations. It is available fresh or frozen, whole or as separate portions; farmed and wild birds are not necessarily identical. Preparation, skin, bones and added brine or seasoning affect the final food.
