I dont understand this obsession with quails and its eggs. In the semi desert lands of Dalaika, Sudan, quails and grasshoppers are the commonest foods around, all year. we sell them ,especially roasted ones, in open air market centres. Its been our food for eons and even when in Kenya I learnt of this delicacy to be found around Western and Nyanza regions, thou this has not stopped the spread of Aids nor cured the same.
