Duck meat???

I just wanted to add my two cents worth.

Duck and goose meat is spectacular. I raise great chicken here. But, given the choice between chicken and duck I'd almost always have the duck. If you are the kind of person who takes the thigh meat over the breast meat (on a chicken) or find yourself going straight for the legs on a turkey (instead of the boring white breast meat) then duck and goose is for you!

We had a goose for our Thanksgiving with a sauce made from reduced port. It blew us away. I'm finding my customers agree. I already have orders for next year and the geese were just delivered two weeks ago.

Comparing the two, I'd say goose has a taste and texture closer to beef than the duck does. But the two are very similar in taste.

Mmmm duck is sooo good! I love bbq duck!

Turkey legs are great too. I know at the fair here we have a stand that sells turkey legs! My dad was ticked when he couldn't get a good leg, because the day we were at the fair the turkey legs were all rubbery and tough! And my dad never gets ticked.

I love duck too. My brother is a wonderful cook and makes a duck dressing - it's marvelous!

I love the stuff(Duck) too! I've always been a dark meat fan(turkey and chicken). It has much more flavor. I haven't tried goose but would probably love it. I also should try ostrich I suppose....

My DSTBEH (thats....soon to be ex husband

) was big hunter. I love all the game birds. But he used to marinate the duck meat in terriyaki then wrap it in bacon and barbeque it. It is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!

My wife makes a wild duck soup, very tender and tasty, never cared from snow geese.

The taste in wild versus farmed animals is pretty extreme difference. And obviously less shot to pick out of your teeth with farmed stuff.
