An Economical Duck Feed?????

[Le Canard de Barbarie]

Which duck did you eat, a pekin or a rouen?

Duck meat is so rich that the servings tend to be smaller. A duck should serve 4 2 get half the breast two get the leg quarters!

Guess I was expecting the thick breast meat of the Cornish X roaster when I carved the duck. Now that I think of it on the TV cooking program "Barefoot Contessa" she quarters the duck on a serving platter and always cooks 2 at a time, allowing for a quarter duck per person. Think I'll try her recipe next time too.
