I have a good recipe for duck or geese...

[Jim Sr.]

I have found that Teal is the very best but Mallards & Pintails are great also

Swiss Cheese Duck

Cover the bottom of a Pyrex dish 13x9 with duck breasts (for goose cut 1 large breast into small chunks)
Cover meat with Swiss cheese slices
Mix 1 can of cream of chicken soup with 1 can of warm water (mix well) and pour on to cheese
Add 1 1/2 cup of Peperage Farms stuffing onto the soup mix
Melt 1 stick of butter and drizzle onto the stuffing
Preheat oven to 350
For duck cook for 45 min. (goose 55 mins). 
Let stand for 5 min for sauce to thicken
Enjoy the best treat of your waterfowl success.

I am always looking for different recipes for fowl things.

Why not buy a bag of dogfood and leave the birds for someone who likes them?

Nothin worng with that at least your using them. Dog did most of the work anyway!

That said i like it like this:

Take a Ceder plank soak it and then lay out duck breast on it. Season with salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, and a little lemon juice. BBQ until meat is done. Throw away meat and eat the board!


Really though, One inch cubes of duck breast inside of a creamcheese stuffed Jalapeno wrapped in bacon then BBQ.

Any meat eater that says they dont like duck hasn't had it prepared right. Every single time that I have served duck to someone that thought they didn't like duck they were blown away at how good it is.

That goes for any meat, not just duck.

Sat I did the simple,

Take the duck breast, hammer it down flatter, season it, coat it with flour, fry it in a pan with hot oil.

YUM!!

My wife took some duck and we sliced into strips, browned it up, and used it for stroganoff meat.

Duck also makes awesome jerky, and sausage.

After reading this thread a few times, I grabbed a bag from the freezer and made a duck shishkabob, we served these over rice last night. Yum. Only problem was getting the weber out from under the rain and out of the wind. Finally got the job done.

Every year on this forum and many others, you have waterfowl hunters commenting on how they don't like the taste of ducks and geese and feed them to their dogs.  In my humble opinion the reason for hunters not liking waterfowl is very simple.  A simple analogy that I use is this.  When you shoot any type of big game, the priority is to get to the animal as fast as you can and get the gut's and hide off of it and get the meat cooled and cared for so you have good tender venison to eat and the whole family enjoys it.

On the other hand you go waterfowl hunting and shoot your ducks and geese, throw them behind the blind all day, (all those downy feathers keeping that wonderful body heat in) then take them home and keep them outside until you have time to pull the breasts out, rinse them off and freeze them.  No wonder they taste like crap!  If you care for them like you do your big game animals, they will taste just like those nice venison steaks that everyone likes.  Just my opinion, that's all.......

My buddy and I just got done making pepperoni. I used deer meat from this year and he used duck and goose from this year. I used 1 pound beef trimmings to 12 pounds venison. He cut his with pork shoulder. Taste test shows waterfowl wins hands down. Who knew?

John, I tend to agree with you. We try to get our ducks back into the water to help cool them down, but I hear you. Same carries true with alot of the lake fish. I always cringe when I see a stringer of fish trailing along in the sunny warm oily chop next to the side of guys boats.. Yuck. We always whack the fish and toss them on ice. Trout actually taste good if you treat them like food.
