- Nowadays most quails are farmed and bought oven ready. Although they are generally of good quality we still remember the days when the Morvan region proliferated with wild quail. These delicious birds still in their attractive plumage could be found in all the local markets. They looked so much more beguiling than the naked birds we buy now and we regret the turning of another page of culinary history.
