I love duck, just too bad I only have it this one day a year.
How about you, anon, how often?

I can never find it and when I do it's prohibitively expensive and I'd rather just have a bunch of prime steak instead. I'll probably eat it once a year at a restaurant.

>> No.16879020

Why is it only once a year? Duck is amazing

Only had it once in my poverty life, in high school cooking class. Our instructor presented us with some duck breasts and showed us how to score them. He then salted them, saying "I don't remember if I already seasoned them but we can't have bland duck if not." Turns out he double salted them

My daughter wants to go to the "sushi place" every week when I have her, I always get the crispy duck. She eats the jasmine rice and snow peas and a piece of sushi and a piece of the duck. It's lightly battered and fried, really amazing.

For some reason it started making me feel nauseous when eating it. I think it might have something to do with the fat or something. I dunno.

anything is tasty in duck fat because duck fat is the tastiest ingredient known to man. i just use it as you'd use butter or olive oil.

>>16879744
that's basically how it is in that region of france, my parents moved to a bigger city so i think my mom just went to one of these stores that sell ducks from local farms in all kinds of ways (from patties to saucisson to aiguillettes, dried-or not magret, piperade, orange or green pepper confits, etc....) to make this year's terrine, but when we were in a smaller town she used to take an order to the farm and hace her fresh foie gras ready to eat well before christmas season.

(just add fleur de sel and caraelized onions with it on a lightly toasted piece of bread, and voila)

according to some dude I know that seems pretty autistic about modern bio agriculture in general it goes like this:
. put all the dead leaves and vegetal organic matter in some kind of container, to rot a bit
. mix it with animal shit

any form of potatoes with duck fat is a transcendental experience. it would be expensive to fill a fryer with it though, so maybe just put as much as you can afford miwed with vegetable oil? i never tried it with french fries.

They ducks will trample swall plants and theyll eat my greens if I leave them in there for weeks. But I only let them in once in awhile to orgy on grasshoppers and other bugs.

The "city gardeners" over here just place some shitty wood structure and cover it with some plastic net, they build some kind of door too I guess. The point is to block birbs that do eat your greens. But I guess if you're complaining about your ducks you don't really have that problem and a small net (like a few centimeters tall enough to block the ducks from coming in) would suffice

No you don't understand, all the most common domestic duck breeds (pekin, khaki campbell, indian runner, etc) come from wild mallard. The ducks in my freezer are not wild, they are domesticated birds. See pic related, both are mallards, the one getting raped is a wild mallard, and the one doing the raping is a domesticated mallard.
