Quail Recipes

Quail is a common term used for a range of small birds quite similar to the partridge and pheasant. Some, like the Japanese migratory quail, breed in Manchuria and spend their winters in Southern Japan. Quail farming is believed to have first been introduced to Japan by one of its emperors who truly believed to have been cured of tuberculosis by quail eggs. This resulted in the extensive farming of quail in Japan since ancient times. Japanese quail is exceptionally good both as a dish in itself as well as for its eggs. It is found that Japanese quail lay around 12 -15 eggs in every clutch. Quail farming became common in America during the late nineteenth century. Quail farming has really caught on there, as quail meet the need for both meat and eggs, both of which are considered equally nutritious. Though far smaller in size, quail eggs are more nutritious than chicken eggs. This is the reason quail farming is on a rise all over the world. Quail, like chicken, lends itself to some really mouth-watering recipes. Given here are some truly wholesome yet simple quail recipes.
