Quail

So I was just trying to figure out why nobody ever talks about quail from heaven - like, God sent manna, yes, but why does that get all the attention? Exodus cares more about the manna, and everybody always talks about manna from heaven, and that's special and everything, but quail is more filling! It has a greater capacity for funny Dick Cheney jokes! QUAIL IS BETTER.

Anyway, I ran a Google search for "God sent quail to the Israelites", and Google suggested that perhaps I had meant to search "God sent mail to the Israelites."

Dear Israelites,

Quitcher bitching. Behave yourselves and listen to Moses or no milk and honey for you.

You better love Me,
xoxo,
The Lord

Quail can be manna from heaven, sweet nectar of life... when it comes in the form of quail and andouille gumbo from Praejean's. It is my manna.

But quail are so cute. People don't like to think of their being eaten. One of my old babysitters had a daughter nicknamed Quail.
