Lidl Quailes

[RayandCarole]

well in Lidl the other day 4 quails for £4.99, mmm sounds a bit dodgy but hey ho give it a go

opened the box today, my god 4 little plucked budgies, right follow recipe, wrap in bacon, season, chuck in oven, cook roast spuds and veg make a bit of gravy And serve

bloody hell really tasty, a few bones too spit  out bit of struggle getting some of the meat off but sucking the bones worked well, really enjoyed it  worth £4.99 even Carole cleared her plate 

sorry forgot to take pics

I looked for some in Cromer and North Walsham without luck. A few weeks ago their Escargot lasted no more than a few hours!

But one thing I have noticed whenever they have a "When it's gone it's gone" is that certain well known eating troughs in North Norfolk will have the same fare on their menus four to six weeks later.

A few weeks ago I was in Tesco Stalham I knew where the gentleman in front was from, the trolley contained the cheapest butter, eggs and various ingredients that Tesco sell! Their menu does make much of local ingredients. I suppose Tesco is local.

I'm surprised the Escargot went so quickly!

We have a healthy supply of slugs near the compost heap if anyone's interested.... well they are snails without shells, aren't they?   

[ChrisB]

They went because the catering trade bought in bulk. They don't appear to limit the quantity per customer on specials like some supermarkets.

[MauriceMynah]

Ahh, understood Chris, That would be why the Quails flew.

[RayandCarole]

Plenty of quails in Cromer this morning, better grab em quick

yes please

Escargot these days are farmed commercially. Even in rural France the gathering in the wild has virtually died out. The reason is the land snail (and the slug) are carriers of Liver Fluke, one of the less welcome parasites.

While out for an evening in Paris with the rest of our coach party, one of the younger members of the party was coaxed into trying Escargot, the poor lad was not very well for the next 24 hours!

I love snails and eat them every time they are on the menu. The more garlic, the better.

If salt is on the menu, does it kill the snails?

[riyadhcrew]

I hope they are already dead. I'd hate they were crawling around in my nether regions.

Good god, snails, quailes, what on earth is wrong with the good old Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding?. Whatever next,  seeing the NBN burgee on Masterchef?.

[Oddfellow]

Gotta be frogs legs next and, perhaps, locust?

 

[JanetAnne]

I thought Lidl was 'locost'

[RayandCarole]

Curiously best frogs legs we had was in a seafood restaurant in Singapore

How can anyone eat snails, I mean, they are just great big slugs with shells on, yuk and frogs legs, really. I'm with Neil on this one, good old roast beef and Yorkshire pud with lashings of gravy. Fish and Chips is about as exotic as I get when it comes to food, thank you very much lol
