yup poor cleaning and cooking ruins duck meals for many
Surprised how many don't know the little pockets in back bone near thigh hold the kidneys which if left in to cook makes whole bird taste like liver.
if you want to eat rubber ducky just put a nice mallard in oven to cook quickly at high heat.
We cook our ducks in cajun pot roast style very slowly at around 225 degrees for 6 hours in nothing but spices (no salt) 1/2 inch water in bottom of roast pan with a whole sliced white or yellow onion.
People that say they don't like duck are snacking on it cold the next day it is so sweet and tender. You can add salt after cooking so it wont turn the onion sugars to vinegar instead of carmelizing them.
