Probably need a sack of Whataburgers to feed the people with sense enough not to eat a duck.

F a duck, and double F a goose. Now having said that, Peking duck done right is to die for, but I highly doubt you're getting that in Rockport. Good luck, take small bites, smile and tell them it was awesome, then go get some fast food on way home.

Save and render as much fat as possible. Fry potatoes or chicken wings.

Thank me later.

Duck confit is delicious.

What does being a Texan have to do with eating or not eating duck?

For those that cook duck.........be sure and cook it on a cedar plank. When done, throw the duck away and eat the cedar plank.

Back when I was serious about duck hunting, I'd take the duck meat and cube it up after deboning it. I'd mix the cubed duck with about a 2:1 ratio of frozen veggies by weight and grind everything together with veggies still frozen. Put ground meat/veg mixture in a pot with a little water and cook gently until cooked through. Once that was done I'd mix it with cooked brown rice.

I'd typically serve it in a dog bowl with some dried kibble mixed in. My Labrador loved it

Visiting my FIL in hospital and asked if he liked "duck meat"…answered with a resounding NO. Read him Fido's method of serving duck…we both needed that laugh (thx Fido) - Merry Christmas everyone!

I have had some wonderful meals here in NOLA with duck. But I also grew up eating sauce piquate with rabbit and squirrel. So there's that. Headed to Jackson Hole in another week. Expect to eat a healthy dose of elk and bison.

Expand your culinary horizon is my recommendation!

I have only grilled duck once, and it was great, but I eat it at restaurants when it is available.

A properly cooked duck breast is damn good eating and I feel bad for anyone who doesn't know that.

Teal is fantastic. Most other wild game duck is perfect for gumbo.

---

Teal is as big as I go for wild duck. Just a bigger-breasted dove and prepare it the same way. All big ducks are given away. Tried a million different ways to make it edible and failed.

Don't get me started on wild goose.

---

Only way I've ever managed to make wild goose edible is as jerky - heavily smoked, very spicy jerky.

I tried that too, no bueno. This is the only recipe that I have found that works:

Lay out geese on paper or cardboard in the bed of the truck for transport
Drive home
Open windows and listen for mowers, weed eaters or leaf blowers
Find yard crew making the noise
Pull up to house they are working on
Open tailgate
Use broken Spanish to ask if they want the geese
Peel out and don't look back after they take them
Clean out bed of truck to make sure all dead goose smell is gone
Eat a steak
