Roast duck

We tried to roast a duck for the first time tonight. It turned out quite well. Carving it was another matter.

We’ve been meaning to try duck for a while: I’ve had it before, but never cooked it myself; Jennifer’s never had it.

Because of the holidays, ducks are more readily available at the supermarkets, so we picked one up today. Armed with a simple recipe from Brome Lake Ducks (though the duck did not come from them), we gave it a go. It turned out very well. We certainly liked eating it. Carving it, though, was a bit more complicated — Jen says it’s not like carving chicken or turkey at all.
