I've seen the ducks in the Dordogne that were being raised for foie gras
and they were out in a meadow with access to water and looked very
healthy, as did the geese on another farm in the area.

I used duck fat in some choc chip cookies a few months ago but the
savoury flavour was too prominent.
After roasting two ducks for a recent dinner party, I "refined" the fat
by repeatedly mixing it with boiling water followed by separating.
As it was liquid at room temperature, I froze it in ice cube trays.

I made a batch of dinner rolls in which I replaced the soft margarine
with an equal weight of the duck fat. They tasted so strongly of fat
that I discarded them. I have yet to taste the 2nd batch which I made
with less than half that amount (30g v. 70g).

What we need is duck eggs.

Of course, that's not where your supermarket duck comes from.

<shrug>. All intensively farmed animals are treated poorly to some
extent. The article says the treatment of ducks has been ignored, I
know that isn't true because in Australia there has been a couple of
major producers who have been penalised and absolutely caned when it
comes to negative publicity.

Rosemary Stanton is also very conservative when it comes to nutrition.

Hmmm. I thought that people who are interested in cooking, would also be
interested in the ingredients they cook with. I guess this doesn't apply
to Steve "Supermarket" Wertz.

Good, although I've never heard about it. I also didn't know ducks were
treated even worse than chickens.

I guess it's the old "Is saturated fat bad for you or not" discussion
again.

Actually, I was wrong about what the issue really was:

Yes, although I'd argue that in of itself is a flawed argument, as all
saturated fats get lumped together as though they are all the same...
usually.

Very good that those liars didn't get away with it.
