I do love duck. I'm no good at cooking it though.
Meat.......or beet? Page 29
Get a Gressingham Duck Nat - easy peasy to cook.
I am struggling why you will eat Donald and Bambi mind but won't eat pheasant!

Get a cockerel!
I too dislike turkey. Occasionally I'll nibble on bits after the meal, but I don't like the taste or texture enough to have it in any quantity. And I too always find it dry, no matter what form it comes in or how it's been cooked. I tend to have chicken in some variety - last year I think I had southern fried style. Mmm.
(We have duck on Boxing Day and/or New Year's Eve.)

actually saying that- I remember the last time I cooked a Gressingham duck it was awesome. Especially for the duck fet you get off- perfect for Christmas roasties!

It's just a weird thing I have- the fields on the journey to my college were full of pheasants, and I'd count them if I was bored and on my own. They're one of my favourite animals. Probably because they represent one of the happy times in my life.

Fair play We see loads of them up here they are always running out into the road. If you knock one over and kill it you are not allowed to take it home - but the car behind can.

...And that's why I have 8 cars.

I bet that little gem came from Steve Wright or Terry Wogan.
As attractive a factoid as it may be, it's not true.
Ownership of roadkill is often debated but there can be little doubt that if your dog or cat is killed on the road, its body is your property in death as it was in life.
Likewise, an owned pheasant remains the property of its owner in death and anyone taking its body for his own culinary purposes commits theft.
A wild pheasant when killed on the road becomes the property of the Highways Agency.
Nice edit there. God bless The Independent!
I like a bit of onion sauce. Bread sauce is nice too.

I'm reading that article right now 
Here's one that addresses the legality of it all.

scroll down to pheasant.
I like a bit of roast pheasant myself but don't like partridge and steer well clear of woodcock.
I don't want to read about dead pheasants
Decided I'm going to do a Christmas dinner this weekend. Haven't decided on the meat yet. Something I can butcher myself I think.
