The Cuts — Lollipops
Quail lollipops, wholesale — the passed course, specced
One cut, one job: a frenched quail leg, individually quick frozen, built to be eaten standing up. This page is the lollipop's full specification and the programs that run on it.
The lollipop is the most specialized cut in the quail catalog — a leg frenched so the bone becomes a handle, the meat a single composed bite. It exists for passed service: receptions, canapés, tasting openers. No plate, no cutlery, no explanation required, which is precisely why banquet programs spec it by name.
It is IQF, like the breasts and legs it is cut alongside, from the same Spanish halal line: raised on 100% vegetable feed with no hormones or antibiotics, produced under IFS Food certified standards. Frozen individually, lollipops portion by the piece — the only honest way to buy for an event whose count is a guess until it is a number.

Who Buys It
Programs that run on lollipops
Banquet and event caterers buy lollipops as a system: the count on the event sheet is the count drawn from the case, and the cut needs no plating infrastructure at the venue. Hotels buy them for reception and lounge programs where a passed item has to read as deliberate. Restaurants buy them as a bar and starter bite — a small, exact, repeatable first course.
Lollipops are almost always quoted with the other IQF cuts, weighted by how a menu actually sells. Name the event types and the rough counts in the request; the quote comes back against them.

Questions Buyers Ask
Before you request
What exactly is a quail lollipop?
A frenched quail leg: the meat is pushed to one end of the bone, leaving a clean handle. It is the appetizer cut of the range — designed for passed service and composed bites — and it is supplied IQF.
Why does IQF matter for event buying?
Events are counts. Because lollipops are frozen piece by piece, a program draws the count the event sheet calls for and returns the rest to the freezer untouched. The cost per cover stops depending on estimates.
Can lollipops be quoted with the other cuts?
Yes. Breasts and legs share the IQF format and the same line, and the three are normally quoted as one family, split by each buyer's program.
