Anyone buy these? Wife bought 18 and hard-boiled them last night but I wasn't keen. To me the yolk tasted much stronger than a normal hen egg.
Quail eggs.

Not sure but not as long as bigger eggs. They're only little.
I have used them a few times. Just boil them for a short time .. I guess 3 mins maximum. They are fiddley to peel. I have used them to make mini scotch eggs. I have used them in a nicoise salad and I have also just presented them whole and unpeeled for the diners to peel themselves and dip in pepper and salt.
Over rated IMO - I guess people like them because they are small and cute
Rather have a full free range egg

I know they're only little. I've eaten them myself, and I've never actually boiled them.
I just boil a pan of water, turn the heat off, then pop the eggs in the hot water for 3 minutes.

Oh the wife says she brought them to the boil and simmered for about 3 minutes.
You can buy them already peeled with some celery salt.
I have bought them in the past but locally, they are hard to find.
