Put some tabasco sauce on it and dive right in.

I don't think with hot sauce I could eat it. I would probably have a hard time eating duck again..lol well not really!

That is just sick. 

I would not feed that to a dog!

Wow, have never seen that before.  Anyone know what that is ?

[spur_ride]

they are a parisite that is ingested and feeds on its host until the host dies then gets eaten by another animal which then becomes the host. at least that is how i understand the artical written about it.

They say if cooked it's harmless but I'll pass. I peek under the skin of every duck.
