Kind of a neat coincidence.
As for eating: Can't taste the difference if marinated and cooked w/my secret recipe. I've proved it to many a hunting partner over the years.
After watching a Mallard gorge itself on slugs, makes it hard to want to eat one of them also. Teal search the water line in the mud for sand shrimp. Blue Bills love muscles and clams. I see many a Mallard eating the floating corn off the top of the sewage treatment ponds up by Marysville over the years.
What they eat doesn't actually designate what they're going to taste like. Thankfully.
