That's literally all you need to know. Now go enjoy roast duck, remember to leave the head on it.
it's just me though. I'm not sure if it would still taste great if I reheat it. can I store it in the fridge for a week and reheat or will it taste like shit?
Wasted
The duck meat I had went fishy pretty quick in the fridge. I would freeze if you're not eating it right away
>went fishy pretty quick in the fridge
how quick are we talking? 2 days? 4 days?
the head of the duck cooks the duck
Why wouldn't the duck to fly away?
Most domesticated waterfowl can't fly, mostly by design.
Roast it then save the fat.
i really like this vietnamese duck noodle soup
https://delightfulplate.com/vietnamese-duck-noodle-soup-mi-vit-tiem/
long story short grill it/bake it/fry it then serve it with noodles and veggies in broth
this is what i'd do.

thanks anon, I'm gonna go with this.
when I was a kid I used to love pic related, it was literally the only junk food I liked. it was so much better than all ramen but I completely forgot about it. I'm really curious now what the real thing tastes like
I have never seen that at Vietnamese restaurants. Now I want to try it. They usually all have some sort of duck breast dish, like honey duck or similar, but that is it.
This is the answer.
what do you do with the fat?
pour it down the drain
not my problem
Duck fat is delicious put some on some soup or toss tater tots in it
The tater tot thing is really, really good
peking duck more like chongching cuck

I haven't done it much but I found duck really annoying to carve and didn't think it was worth the extra cost over a chicken.
Maybe debone it and do a gallentine with a spinach based stuffing?
Roast and serve with sauce bigarade and some potato side dish.
In central yurp, duck is roasted with apples
I like it better than that shitty French bullshit with the oranges
>onions
>celery
>carrots
All diced
>tbsp tomato paste
>cup of chicken broth
>cup of OJ
Slow cook it
once finished
>add fresh parsley
Serve with fresh baked biscuits
Duck is very gamey. It's dry and tough, almost like leather. My best experiments were when I baked it with satsumas, plums and mushrooms. Fruit goes pretty well
>gamey
I don't know what that even means. People use it to describe lamb, duck and even rabbit and none of the three have remotely similar flavor profiles or even textures at all.
Apples, tangerines and melons don't taste alike but they're all sweet, but duck, lamb and rabbit don't even have that much in common. Wholly dissimilar
It means it tastes like Game. Ducks pheasants pigeons. They all have a distinct taste, much different to the usual farmed birds like chicken turkey. Tastes a bit more 'wild' and strong.
Pigeon isn't game and doesn't taste like game. Same with ducks, lambs and chickens. Idk if pheasants are fermed but wild pheasant doesn't taste much different from farmed quail, just with less fat.
Turkey tastes stronger than rabbit to me.
>chickens
Meant rabbit there not chicken
>Duck is very gamey. It's dry and tough, almost like leather.
That's what we in the cooking business call "fucking up". Duck is none of those things.
So I have tried a few things with duck over the years.
First off, the Chinese have it right - the autistic shit they do to roast the duck to get it that way is as good as it gets. But they do all sorts of prep work for that, not worth it at home.
Smoking is not a good idea. It "works" in that it is cooked, but it dries the meat out.
Best thing you can do is break it down and cook the parts differently. Pan cook the breasts in a sauce (sweet and salty), and confit the legs for best experience.
Duck can be kept and reheated. It's not 100%, but it will be 95% still good.
Depends on duck source. It is actually no where near as gamey as lamb or some other odd game animal. The main thing to understand is it is all dark meat, and requires a different treatment than lighter meats like chicken and turkey do.
I associate "gamey" with lamb. As in the base flavor of lamb is terrible and requires herbs to resolve the flavor issue (ie rosemary). I don't really have this problem with any other meat, duck included. But people use gamey to describe a bad meat flavor that puts them off eating said meat.

Its like a more nutrient filled better version of chicken. So anything you do with chicken you can do with duck, it will just be better/more savoury.
i like ALDI its a good store and its very cheap.
But, anon, ducks are frens
these fuckers are LOUD
Those are Layer Ducks. Not to be confused with other white/inferior ducks.
