Mini Scotch Eggs made with quails' eggs and wild boar sausage meat FTW.
Now you're talking! 
Future plans involve much of the same with soft centred Duck Eggs.

Qual-egg index is very dodgy.
My 30th birthday on the yacht was iffy, great BBQ party with paella and quail eggs for 30 people, folks still hugged me and I ended up sleeping with my ex's sister.
Much disorder from some simple eggs.
Serves me right for skim reading. I initially missed that little word towards the end of your sentence. ex... My 30th birthday on the yacht was iffy, great BBQ party with paella and quail eggs for 30 people, folks still hugged me and I ended up sleeping with my ex's sister.

It's going well for a thread which "wasn't very interesting"....eh Sump.
The naysayers who love to foresee only doom for new threads are likely to be right 98 times out of a 100, but it's a cheap way of being right. If you think of the second post on here you won't be too bothered by them.It was IBTL wasn't it....LOL
Went round to Dad's for dinner.
He showed me a photo he'd found or had searched for.
From 1955 of his wedding day,a picture I don't recall ever seeing before.
It had both sets of Grand parents,I never met his side as they died before my birth.
I didn't ask but of the 10 people in the pic,I believe only 2 or 3 are still with us.
My mother included in the deceased.

I remember seeing that, sometime later.

That's it. "Ooh, a new thread, it's almost bound to fail, I'll get a cheap laugh."It was IBTL wasn't it....LOL
It's the numbers game.
There was a documentary years ago about the lack of HM Government backing for British inventions. They interviewed a retired senior Civil Servant who had been in charge of a body tasked with providing backing for likely looking inventions. He said, in a really rather smug way, that all inventions were assessed and rejected. When asked how this could be allowed to happen, he replied that as only about 1% of the inventions would ever amount to anything, if he failed all of them, his failure rate would be 1% which was an unfeasibly good result for a Government Department.

Sobering, iva. He showed me a photo he'd found or had searched for.

Thanks for sharing that. That'll stick with you for a while if I'm any judge.
For as long as I can remember I have enjoyed making people laugh. Sometimes I try too hard and it's too complicated to be funny and sometimes it's plain ordinary not funny. You have to try. But the best feeling is when I get an unexpected laugh. As she rang up my order the girl behind the counter in Argos asked, "How has your day been?" I had a quick think and said, "Productive." And she thought it was hilarious. I guess the other three hundred people she asked today just said, "Fine, thanks. You?"
Good day today. Loads done: garden, cars, house, made breakfast, lunch and dinner, bought grandson's Fireman Sam Fire Station (at Argos - see above) and made a rake of buttermilk scones. Have I sung the praises of Mary Berry yet today? The woman's a genius.
But, y'know, Yin and Yang. I had a good day but Chunky blew up the Celica. Gutting.
