Quail eggs
I've not had good luck with quail eggs from the Asian market in the past, but I decided to try them again. And they were good and hardboiled up very nice. Plus, they're awfully cute.And, they're way lower in calories and such than chicken eggs. However, you can get much of the same egg flavor with less egg if you use quail eggs. Plus, did I mention they're cute?
This lunch also includes kumquats! Yum!

The neurotic Italian woman in me can't do the funky eggs-no way, no how. Years ago, when I was about 10 years old, I went to 4-H camp. I was a skinny, skinny kid, picky eater. For breakfast, we had scrambled eggs every morning. They were very yellow and probably from a carton, but I didn't know about carton eggs back then-someone told me they were ostrich eggs and I believed them. From that time on, only chicken eggs (preferably free range ones or the organically fed ones on the farms near us). BTW, the entire week of camp, I lived on 1 cookie and 1/2 cup warm Kool-Aid a day. I knew they couldn't sneak any freaky exotic animal stuff in those.
Hmmm, never thought about quail eggs. I have a Japanese market a few blocks away. Maybe I will take a looksee over there for availability.
