    I think that you will need to serve serious quantities of adult beverages, preferably of a distilled nature.

    Good luck.

    Hoss...Relax... :blink: . DAD wants quail, BUT his BUDDIES want pulled pork sammies!!! :woohoo: Five butts, and bunch of buns, a bucket of coleslaw and tater salad.... As far as the quail goes....introduce it AFTER people have had BBQ....and an idea for you.... Serve LEAPING FROGS instead.... :woohoo:
    DSC01463.jpg

    Actually...I have other quail pics I can't find right now, but I wrapped the leg/thigh portion in a piece of bacon, seared, then seared the breast portion the last couple minutes to keep the breast med rare. (sorry I cant find those pics...) Certainly Dad doesn't want you to go through your quail reserve.... :pinch: Offer quail as an after dinner treat. B)

    (Edited....looked like quail in PB...these are cornish hens....but they look very similar! I will keep looking for my quail pics.)
