These little buggers are like condensed chicken eggs. They
do have a little more cholesterol and fat than the shells dropped from their larger feathered friend, but they also carry important

Personally, we're going to quell our quail fears with this
Epicurious recipe -- and boil a few to serve with toasted sesame-seed salt.
