About Quail Egg
Wikipedia Article About Quail egg on Wikipedia

Bird eggs are a common food source. The most commonly used bird eggs are those from the chicken, duck, and goose, but smaller eggs such as quail eggs are occasionally used as a gourmet ingredient, as are the largest bird eggs, from ostriches. The eggs of sea turtles are also sometimes used for food. Eggs are frequently used in both sweet and savoury dishes as a source of protein as well as to bind the other ingredients in a recipe together. Sometimes the egg yolk is used separately from the egg white (or albumen).

The egg yolk is suspended in the egg white by one or two spiral bands of tissue called the chalaza (from the Greek word khalaza meaning hailstone or hard lump.)

Considered a delicacy, these small eggs are usually eaten hard-boiled or poached and in aspic.
