Quail in a can?

[Logie_Bear]

I've seen a lot of threads lately that mention substituting quail eggs in your gu's diet instead of chicken eggs. Unfortunately, after extensive searching I have found no locations in town that sell fresh quail. However, what I did find is that our local Asia Mart sells canned quail egg. I don't know about any of you, but I've never heard of eggs in a can so I must say that I'm a bit skeptical. The can doesn't say that it's pickeled or anything like that, but I wonder what kind of preservatives must also be in there? Your guess would be as good as mine tho, as 90% of the label is written in Korean...

So, has anyone ever heard of such a curiosity? Would you feed you even consider feeding canned qail eggs to your gu? Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Unless you can have someone translate what is in it or figure it out on your own, I would pass.

Wow, speedy reply. Thanks James! I even asked the store clerk who was there at the time, but she was Japanese and didn't know for sure either! :-/ I suppose it shall forever be a mystery.

I can't vouch for them but I'm considering ordering them off amazon as I can't find any nearby suppliers

Again not sure how that comes out with shipping but .50 per egg doesn't seem too bad

I have purchased the quail eggs in the can . They are packed in salt water. Keep rinsing them to get the external salt off .

Hit your local Asian market and ask them to get them in. I remember paying 3.49 for 18 eggs. And I still complained because they are just so damn tiny. They are about the size of the average mans digit on his finger, yea , that small.
If you look there is a place ( don't know where the link is) that sells them seasonally by the multi dozens on the cheap. Alot cheaper than i can buy at the markets but too many more than I would use at any one time. But now i found people y me on the site so splitting the costs are possible. I will look up and post the link when i find it
