How to enjoy duck.

On the rare occasion, I find myself with some time to just sit back, relax and reflect on the small pleasures of life. Now, I enjoy a good meal here and there, however, my personal favorite -- duck. There are many ways to enjoy duck; grilled, baked, roasted, fried, seared...for some foie gras is an especially tasty ducky treat. But my all time favorite -- Rubber Duckie. Here are some quick tips and tricks for you and your family, so you too can enjoy one of my personal favorites!

When choosing your duck, be sure to choose one without any blemish or visible damage. Check all sides very carefully as you see me doing here. It is important to hold the duck up to the light, this allows you to see into the interior and check for any possible contaminants. Rubber duckies, in particular, trap water so be sure to squeeze out the excess water after each bath.


Hold your duckie very gently, like so. How many you want to handle at one time is entirely up to you. I personally like to work with two at the same time, but again, this is personal preference -- so go with what makes you comfortable.

Now, munch.

Be sure to munch on every side. Don't be shy, really work those gums and get in there. You want to draw out all the flavors so munch like your life depends on it!

Remember to have some fun while you're at it. Like I said earlier, this is one of my favorite treats. Have fun, let your hair down and go to town!




Lastly -- share.

If you don't have a duckie, I'd like to offer you mine. If someone you know doesn't have a duckie, offer yours. Be a lover. Not a fighter. Spread the love and give the gift that keeps on giving.

Mi duckie es su duckie. Anytime.
