Much harder than chickens or turkeys. So hard to get the legs and wings off.

Perhaps it tells you that you should be vegetarian.

Did you remember to kill it and cook it?

Me ma cooked the duck, but she asked me to carve it.

-waiter, is the duck wild?

-well, eet wasn't too 'appy when we shot eet

Some tips from Delia.

if it's cooked correctly it should almost fall of the bone

If it's cooked long and slow it will fall off the bone, that's how I personally like it, but many people prefer it pink, and it's a bit more tricky then. If I am wanting it pink I would take the breasts off the bird before cooking.

And even Delia simply quartered them for years as opposed to carving them. I just quarter them, but then I am not fussy about having a leg or breast.

I'd hate pink duck meat...presumably it is covered in fat as it wouldn't have been cooked long enough to render the fat off. A whole duck slowly roasted in the oven is far nicer than an expensive breast pan fried and then allowed to rest in a warm oven (in my opinion ).
