The common quail is also part of Polish, Maltese, Italian, Mexican, Spanish, and Indian cuisine.
Quail are commonly eaten complete with the bones, since these are easily chewed and the small size of the bird makes it inconvenient to remove them.

The birds were brushed with lard, bread crumbs and beaten eggs and finished in the oven.
A savory pie could be made with quail, salt pork, eggs and fresh herbs.
