Yes. Right first time. Not that I would know but my wife told me. She eats them a lot, at least she did in the Philippines. What is the orange finish? Is that bread crumbs or something? I asked her and she didnt seem certain.....

I used to keep Quail at the bottom of my aviaries in the Phils, and we had their little eggs to eat every day (and duck ones), but never thought of doing that with them.

I must confess to having never seen such a thing before. :Erm:

Are they a regional snack ?

What is the orange finish? food coloring orange :)

Kwek-Kwek Also called “tukneneng,” this ball made of quail eggs and some orange batter and its very famous Filipino street food :)

[grahamw48]

I obviously didn't realise what they were, otherwise would have bought some. They look yummy. :)

My wife is from Cavite. She and her family seemed to snack on them. They sell fresh quails eggs here on the IOM so we might buy some.....

Never ate dried mango in my life until I met my wife and now I'm addicted. I brought back about 20 packets from the Philippines last time I visited. :hubbahubba:
