Do you eat duck ?

Roast duck in the UK, magret de canard in France, duck with red cabbage in Poland, Chinese crispy duck it's all delicious, I'll eat as much as I can get. I'm with the others, it's really nothing exotic just goooood.

For Christmas try a three bird roast. Boned out goose with a boned out duck inside it and a boned out pheasant inside that....beats a bland old turkey hands down
 
My favorite Thai restaurant's house specialty is Crispy Duck with Sweet Basil. It may be one of my favorite things I've ever eaten in my entire life. Unquestionably Top 5.

BUT for the last 6 years, I've known one thing - "I'm picky - don't order the duck on Sunday." After Friday and Saturday dinner rushes, the best of the duck meat has been eaten and what's left is much more likely to be heavy on the fat. New food shipment comes in Monday or Tuesday. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are awesome.
 
Here in South Arkansas, duck is a staple. Some of the best duck hunting in the world is here, and duck is cooked in many ways, including in gumbo.

I must say, though, that the best duck I ever had (and one of the best meals ever) was the roast duck at the Four Seasons. It was amazing.
