Beached quail

I went for a jokey title for a little laugh. Do you ever find post titles are difficult to decide on?! 

In reality, we just bought some quail eggs! I'm really excited to try anything new, as I think there are so many things out there that you could end up loving if you just gave it a chance. Quail eggs was certainly one of them. They are dinky and really quite beautiful. 

We shared them with Michaels dad, and ended up with 4 each. I chose to have two fried and two boiled. Both ways were delicious (fry til white and not snotty, boil for two minutes) and I wouldn't hesitate to have them again. I like that the white to yolk ratio was more equal than with a chickens egg. 

On that note, my sister has chickens now! And I also can't wait to try out her home grown eggs. Further to that, we have a little farm up the road that sells duck and goose eggs which I'd also like to sample... Have you ever tried any of them? What did you think? Would you try them?

Feast Food Festival

The trip Michael and I took to London luckily coincided with the Feast London food festival (see facebook here, and website here). We had no idea it was going to be there, we didn't plan for it to happen, but we are both quite big foodie's so it was really great to have the chance to go along! When we got to Tobacco Dock it was incredible to see the transformation - there were stalls, fires, heaters, music bands and such a variety food - there were two floors filled!

Obviously and importantly, we had a plan. Browse all the stalls on one quick walk around, decide what took our fancy the most and then go back to the appropriate stations. Michael started off with BBQ pulled pork.

I'm going to put a page break here as there are TONNES of photos but they're definitely worth it, read on...
