Yes but some scienmtist in New Zealnad went to far last week. They where defrosting a giant squid caught last year in a fishermens net - the best specimen ever found - and when they started disecting it they deceided to try a bit to see how it tasted!!!! Apparently pretty good? I think they may have been the only people on earth to ever have had giant squid - most are only found washed up and rotting on the shore.

Im pretty sure its spelt Sqwud over there Andy.....

Hello V,

Hello Joz,

Yes we did debone it ourself but some buthers will do it for you. I do find doing it ourself is better and you loses less meat. There is little meat on ducks anyway, not losing anymore than we have to.

I believe the webber slow hot smoking is the best way to cook a duck. Use hickory wood chips to generate the smoke as hickory give it a milder smoke flavour.

Only if you have ya boots on joz

Hello V,

They have many wondeful dishes, but we decided to dispense with the usual favourites and go for the duck alone. Yes served in courses: first 1½ doz then 1 doz.

JA

LOL,

Lovin it!

If eating is the food for the body then thought is food for the mind.

Hope to get a tast when I am in Melbourne.

JA the Old Kingdom in Smith st does peking duck at the table slicing the duck as he goes then turning the carcass into soup,and it is not that expensive.
