People eat ducks?

I have eaten duck many times and it is a wonderful meat. But to like duck, you have to like meat, of course. I am a meat eater and I am willing to try almost anything that is placed before me, except fast food which doesn´t agree with my stomach. Different ethnias eat different meats according to where they live. I was mildly shocked (until I read more about it) about the use os lizards in New Orleans traditional foods. The last time I went to Perú I ate an awesome guinea pig. It tasted better that rabbits and rabbit meat is something I love. I make squids at home, either fried with olive oil and garlic and served hot or cold with a black olive paste. YUMMY!!!

I don´t understand what is odd about eating duck? Or any other sort of meat, to be honest. I rarely eat duck as it´s a bit of a treat for us, but we had it for Christmas dinner. It arrived still quacking, so I had to kill and prepare it myself, but it was a delicious meal none the less. Once I have made some space in my animal house I hope to get some ducklings myself.

we have a lot of ducks here in our area and we're eating them for main meals. we make delicious dishes on ducks like putting something sweet and sour sauces. we also make tasty roast duck. it's a real new year treat.Duck tends to be greasy however, the way that I prepare duck seems to eliminate much of the grease and it turns out crispy, juicy and tasty. You don't get much meat from one duck so for entertaining large groups you may need at least two medium sized ducks to serve.

Well, duck actually is a pretty common thing to eat. The taste is not exactly like chicken, I would describe it as a little stronger and less juicy. Almost a little dry. There are many ways to cook duck, but I suppose the most famous one is orange duck, cooked with oranges. As you're a vegetarian, of course I'm not going to recommend you to try it but at least I hope my explanation helped you to get an idea about how the taste of a duck is like

Wow what a lot of responses. Usually I would read the responses to see if I could contribute something diffrent but I am reaching my limited time to mylot so I apologise if my response is less original. I have eaten duck too but its nothing compared to what I am about to tell you. My father is much of an experimenter and he has cooked tongues (of goats) and its delicious. Its crunchy and because my father added spices, it has me licking the plate! Sorry if I am being insentive to your being vegetarian. BTW have you tried vegetarian food cooked by Hindu Indians? I have to have them everytime I see them. They are sooooo lip smacking good.

lol. shaggin... you better come to our place..you might probably die of shock... lol... Nagalang is our place... and we are also known as the head hunters... you see... some people even eat snakes.. :-D.. and mice.. the white one.. some even eat caterpellars.. they roast it and eat it... people here eat deer... tiger... grasshopper.. hahhaha.. we nagas eat almost everything... lol... not everyone eats though.. heee... ;)

I've eaten ducks, but I stopped because I began to love ducks and can't bear to think of one being eaten (unless it's a really mean, nasty drake). They actually taste pretty good, but very fatty. Many people hunt and eat wild ones, too. It's a little expensive, but when we could afford it, we would have it for Christmas dinner alongside a turkey or ham.

I've only had duck twice and it was delicious. I tried Peking Duck both times. Duck can be very dry but it is also quite oily so it has to be cooked carefully. Duck l'orange is also a famous dish. We can buy frozen duck at the supermarket and I really must have a go at cooking one for myself one day. I'll have to find a good recipe.

I'm surprised someone thinks it's uncommon. Duck tastes 100x better than chicken. It's also much more expensive so we used to have it only on special occasions. But I'm also a vegetarian like you for 7 years now so no ducks for me.

haven't you heard of Peking duck? That's duck cooked in Chinese style. it's really like eating chicken or turkey. And it's not odd eating cooked duck Although it's like also someone who is shocked to learn that there are people who don't eat meat and say that's odd. I have tried eating duck cooked in different ways but not too often because it's more expensive than chicken. anyways, each to her own eating habits.

I've been to a few Chinese restaurants here and there, but non have a more exotic menu as the restaurants when I was working and living in Asia. I could remember seeing a 'Peking duck' dish when I look at the menu. It was interesting, but I never really thought of ordering it. It's not one of the more common meat, I guess.

You must tast duck oneday.It does not have much flesh like chicken,but they taste so superb.I ate it accidently in a hotel.They are one of leading hotels in my area and they gave so much tasty chicken and that at very cost.One day,I was with a professor and when he tasted it,he told me,surely its a duck as no chicken had such long legs.I hadn't noticed till then I had ate a duck leg thinking its a chicken with long legs.I asked the hotel manager,then he confessed his little secret about duck meat.Guess what,after that I started to go to the hotel often especially to have duck fry.

I have eaten things like squid and duck before. I really do love my meat, i had squid by accident, i was on holiday and i just filled my plate with stuff but didn't know what it was, a friend pointed out i was eating squid, i didn't beleive him and was enjoying my food, i went for 2nds and he told me to look on the top of the counter above the plates i was taking the food from as these were signs that shows what the food is, he was right, i was eating squid, but i did enjoy it. Another friend mentioned to me a few months ago as to how good duck is. I decided to buy it to give it a try and it was a complete waste of my money, i was so close to vommiting, it was awful, i will now really only stick to the proper meats i like, like ham, beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, pork, etc.

I think its weird to eat ducks too! Ive been a meat eater all my life but I would never eat a duck, it just seems weird. Ive raised ducks before and I dont see how they would taste good, but I am sure they taste like chicken or something. Not really something I will ever try. My grandmother is from Denmark and she always makes duck for the holidays, must just be in some traditions.

Yes, people eat ducks and I have seen them on the menu quite often in restaurants here in the UK. I can't say that I like them very much as they always seem a little greasy to me and have a little too much fat. I used to be vegetarian for a period of about 10 years, but I became quite ill on the diet so had to go back to eating meat, but I can't say that I really like eating it and really dislike fat. _Derek

Different people eat different meat. For many people Turkey would be as odd meal. In the end it is a bird and meat. Frogs and snakes are also specialties in some places. If you were raised in an environment which ate ducks, then you would not have thought of it as strange.

Hello Shaggin As a vegetarion I guess you find many types of meat odd to eat beside of the most standard knowns, chicken, cattle and pork. In Denmark we actually commonly eat duck or goose for Christmas eve dinner - It is some sort of traditional food just like turkey is with Thanksgiving.

yeah, people really eat duck! Here there is duck hunting season too. We even raised ducks for awhile. you can cook it sort of like a roast. But I really like its taste. It has a rich taste that really cannot be described real well. But it's pretty good! I just haven't had it in a long time!

In my country eating duck isn't an unusual thing,although it's not as common as chicken or pork,so I don't find it odd at all,but what seems to be normal in a culture may appear odd in another one.I saw several documentaries on television about other nations and their favourite food and I saw that many people eat stuff which is really odd for me,but it's perfectly normal for them.So,in the end,no matter what you eat,the important thing is to enjoy your meal.

In the UK there's usually frozen duck in supermarkets and in some more 'upper class' restaurants, and like others have said, it's a speciality for some Chinese/Oriental dishes. I personally could never eat it. I'm a big meat eater but I'm also quite a fussy eater, so without meats like chicken or pork I wouldn't be left with too much variety in my diet! If it wasn't for that, I'd prefer to be a vegetarian because I hate the thought of actually eating what was one a living, breathing animal, but I guess I've gotten used to the meats I do eat since a young age so I try not to think too much about where it comes from. For me, duck isn't something I'd want to eat (they were once fluffy duckings after all!) but it's also not hugely popular compared to other meats so it's easily avoidable. Sea life is something I have a problem with; I don't eat fish so I couldn't touch something like squid either!
