  1. Excellent recipe! I followed the instructions exactly and it came out perfect. I didn't change anything except I used a bit less fat (bacon fat) than the recipe calls for. The sauce was light and very flavorful. I served the quail over egg noodles. Note that trussing such tiny birds isn't very easy!
     
  2. Excellent.I have used one cup cream mixed with one cup chicken stock.Still very good.
