201204 Fri May 09 09:14:56 -0700 2003 28 18 Manhattan 0 1072983 Does anybody know where I can purchase quail eggs and duck eggs? Ducks eggs that aren't fertilized (errr..in other words, not the duck eggs with the little ducklings inside that you can find in Chinatown). Any help would be appreciated! Fri May 09 09:14:56 -0700 2003 0 Pru 1 1072985 I know Gourmet Garage carries quail eggs. There are a couple of locatiosn in the city- I know one is on 64th btw 1st and 2nd. Fri May 09 09:50:42 -0700 2003 1072983 0 antvic69 1 1072987 I saw quail eggs last week at the Italian import store in Chelsea market. Fri May 09 10:10:49 -0700 2003 1072983 0 scrittrice 1 1072994 try one of the larger supermarkets in chinatown (especially the one in flushing if you're mobile...) ali Fri May 09 10:42:05 -0700 2003 1072983 0 ali b 1 1073000 The stand at the Union Square Greenmarket on Saturdays that sells pheasants and ducks often has duck eggs. I have not noticed whether they have them every week or not. Pat G. Fri May 09 10:49:55 -0700 2003 1072983 0 Pat Goldberg 2 1073045 The Greenmarket at Union Sq is a great place for fresh duck & Quail eggs. Quattro's Farms -the place with the wonderful meats- has Pheasant, free range chicken, and Turkey Eggs, but usually not duck eggs. Not sure about Quail. If you walk toward the West side of the market you'll see a guy who works out of the back of his pick-up truck who has duck, goose, quail, etc. He has a very small booth right next to the guy selling Niagara wines. Other than the Market, Agata & Valentina 1st @ 79th has quail eggs. Not sure about duck. Fri May 09 14:45:25 -0700 2003 1073000 0 Giacomo 3 1073082 Simchik Meats in East 50s sells quail eggs.....what do you do with them, if I might be so nosy??? Fri May 09 17:32:56 -0700 2003 1073045 0 erica 4 1073105 Nothing fancy, really. Well, my uncle used to hard boil them and then eat them with a little salt. I might do that. I've been searching for more foods that I can eat for breakfast. I love to eat fried eggs on rice with soy sauce. I love sunny side up eggs with soy sauce (weird, I know). However, I'm getting a little sick of chicken eggs. So, I thought with a quail egg, I could crack it directly over a steaming hot bowl of rice and mix it in. The heat of the rice would cook it. (Although, I have no qualms about eating the quail egg raw, either.) Sprinkle a bit of soy sauce over the rice and you've got breakfast for a king with the added benefit that I'm not dirtying a frying pan so early in the morning. Sat May 10 08:16:52 -0700 2003 1073082 0 Pru 5 1073106 Thanks!!! I also want to vary the breakfast routine..I will give those eggs a try....have you ever had what we used to call "unborn" chicken eggs????? I a sac inside the bird..all yolk..you boil them and eat with lots of salt!!!! You can find them at Union Sqaure Market sometimes at the chicken/egg place. Sat May 10 08:54:43 -0700 2003 1073105 0 erica 6 1073113 No, I haven't. Sounds intriguing though. I'll check them out the next time I'm at the Greenmarket. Thanks! Sat May 10 12:37:08 -0700 2003 1073106 0 Pru 3 1073108 I just returned from the USG, and Quattro Farms does have duck eggs today. I cannot guess how fast they sell out, however. Pat G. Sat May 10 10:20:33 -0700 2003 1073045 0 Pat Goldberg 1 1073034 I've gotten quail eggs at the japanese markets in the East Village. m2m is at 3rd Ave and 11th St. and Sunrise Market is on 9th St, just east of 3rd Ave. Fri May 09 13:48:56 -0700 2003 1072983 0 ...tm... 1 3525495 Anybody know where I can find quail eggs in the UWS? Tue Mar 25 08:35:12 -0700 2008 1072983 50693 JoLi 2 3525507 Does the Columbus Circle Whole Foods carry them? I've seen them at other Whole Foods locations. Tue Mar 25 08:38:00 -0700 2008 3525495 10936 kathryn 2 3525535 I often see them at Citarella - may be worth a call first though. Tue Mar 25 08:45:15 -0700 2008 3525495 10985 MMRuth 3 3526268 Thank you! I called both Citarella and Whole Foods. Unfortunately Citarella no longer carries them. But Whole Foods do! Tue Mar 25 11:40:17 -0700 2008 3525535 50693 JoLi 4 3526285 Wow - that's a drag about Citarella - thought I'd just seen them there recently. BTW - I bought some beautiful pheasant eggs at the Union Square market on Saturday - a bit bigger than quails eggs. They were rich and delicious poached on a salad for lunch that day. Huge yolks. Tue Mar 25 11:43:32 -0700 2008 3526268 10985 MMRuth 5 3528074 How odd. I bought a pack of 10 at Citarella just a week ago - though they did say it was their last one. Just in case the person you spoke to was wrong, the quail eggs are usually on the 2nd floor, in the dairy cooler. Further up on the UWS, Jas Mart on the NW corner of 110th and Broadway often has them, but call ahead. Either way, most Japanese markets carry them, including Mitsuwa in NJ. Tue Mar 25 20:26:53 -0700 2008 3526285 41591 snaporaz 6 3528563 I should add that I also saw them at various markets in Chinatown - and much cheaper than at Citarella et al. Wed Mar 26 04:15:25 -0700 2008 3528074 10985 MMRuth 4 3541124 FYI - Citarella on the UES had loads of quail eggs this afternoon. Sat Mar 29 14:39:56 -0700 2008 3526268 10985 MMRuth 5 3557895 I ended up going to Citarella anyway since I was in the neighborhood and found them! I guess the person I spoke to didn't know what I was talking about. Thu Apr 03 11:59:49 -0700 2008 3541124 50693 JoLi 6 3557905 Excellent - I often find that despite my efforts to call ahead and get information at markets, what I'm told is usually wrong! Thu Apr 03 12:00:47 -0700 2008 3557895 10985 MMRuth 1 3526477 I have seen both kinds at Dean & DeLuca in the Upper East Side. Tue Mar 25 12:31:08 -0700 2008 1072983 17192 Toot 2 3527894 I've seen them at Eli's Vinegar Factory. ((Quail eggs.) Tue Mar 25 19:25:25 -0700 2008 3526477 21025 Gelaine 1 3529123 Dean and Deluca sells them from .60-.70 each. I love how quail eggs have so much yoke and they are beautiful. Wed Mar 26 08:03:31 -0700 2008 1072983 168437 mslex 2 3587332 Just to update: I saw quail eggs today at Buon Italia in Chelsea Market. they cost $7.99 for a dozen. I also happened to see quail eggs last weekend at a Vietnamese market in Northern Virginia where the price was $1.49 a dozen. So MMRuth's suggestion of Chinatown sounds like a good one. Sat Apr 12 10:17:54 -0700 2008 3529123 12618 erica 3 3587350 Whole Foods at Columbus Circle has quail eggs in their produce section near the mushrooms and peppers. They are offered unpackaged, so you can buy as many as you need. Duck eggs are all over Chinatown. Kam Man on Canal has them. Sat Apr 12 10:23:56 -0700 2008 3587332 81898 minkdreads 4 3589025 I've also seen duck eggs lately at the Quattro Farms stall at Union Square. Sun Apr 13 04:44:30 -0700 2008 3587350 10985 MMRuth 5 3589768 Yes, I bought a half-dozen duck eggs from them yesterday. $8.00 a dozen. Sun Apr 13 10:52:45 -0700 2008 3589025 12618 erica
