quail egg
Tiny mottled sphere
A quail egg is the small, speckled egg of a quail, typically about one-fifth the size of a chicken egg.
Prized in Asian and European cuisines, quail eggs appear in sushi, salads, and as garnishes.
They're often served hard-boiled or fried: The ramen was topped with a soft-boiled quail egg.
