Comments on: Quail’s eggs with Za’atar http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/04/26/quails-eggs-with-zaatar/ The slightly eccentric eating and cooking adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Or maybe not as the ones in Chinatown just weren't as good as the ones in Japan. I've eaten quail but never deboned one-well done you! I shall definitely share if I come across a good brand available here. We rarely have those stalls in Sydney, I think you'd have to travel out pretty far to get those stalls which is a pity. It's really nice to buy like that and it certainly teaches kids to be enterprising! I'd definitely suggest making the Za'atar yourself. It's just lovely with the fresh marjoram and it doesn't overpower the eggs at all, it's almost the most perfect match (aside from that delicious Kewpie Japanese mayo of course!) ;) Hi Maria-Thanks! :D I guess I didn’t really think of the age of the item, I just thought it’s just anything else tinned.

Though having said that, how can I be surprised knowing how much you love this kind of stuff?! I must admit I've never eaten quail's eggs..even though I've eaten quail and even deboned a quail. When you talked of eating quails eggs from a can in Japan.. I almost recoiled in horror. For some reason when I see "whole eggs" in packets and cans in Asian stores I think about the age of the item.. I wonder how on earth it has been preserved.. I wonder if I will be making myself incredibly sick if I try something so exotic! If you ever find good quail eggs in a can somewhere, please let me know the trusted brand name! I'm so curious! Now why don't *I* ever pass by stalls on the side of the road that sell tamarillo's and quail eggs?! I think that's wonderful. And what a bargain you scored! :-) I've also never had any freshly made-up Za'atar. I've only ever tried prepackaged concoctions from the supermarket shelves and have always been disappointed. What a great idea to have fresh quail eggs and Za'atar! So the Za'atar doesn't overpower the eggs? I love the idea of Japanese mayo on eggs too! Love that stuff.
