I was at Poke Square in Ballard getting my Poke on when I saw something I’d never seen before: a quail egg.
For $1 extra I decided to try it. I wasn’t expecting it to be raw. But there it was, staring up from my bowl.
I cautiously dumped the contents on to some lettuce and stuff. I didn’t have the nerve to just drink it like a shot. So I ate this raw yoke mixed up with other stuff in my bowl. Heck, I was eating raw fish, why not raw egg? It was…unobjectionable. I don’t think I would have liked it straight up though.
