Are we really taking ducks off the menu?
I mean, I don't eat meat at all myself, but I seem to remember ducks are farmed for their meat...
Also, the big, manly hunters these folks love hunt ducks.
Yup! They’re farmed for meat and eggs.
My wife loves duck but they’ve gotten too expensive to buy regularly. Definitely a special occasion thing.
I had duck eggs once. They tasted fishy. I did not have duck eggs again.
Wild duck meat can also taste kinda fishy, I think due to their natural diet.
Haven’t noticed it in the eggs but if I’m eating duck eggs they’re usually salted duck eggs which is a whole ‘nother experience.
Farmed duck eggs generally don't taste fishy, but they are richer and a little different than chicken eggs.
They shouldn't be fishy at all; I've had hundreds in my life (they are the standard here), they're just richer.
I can't help what they tasted like...
I mean you probably had a bad one or something.
Considering several other people said wild duck eggs taste fishy, I'm thinking that it's a fish diet on the duck's part rather than the grain it would be fed on a farm.
The two others mentioned the meat can taste "kinda fishy", not the eggs. The other said farmed ones don't taste fishy, they're just richer.
FFS. Will you accept a duck farm's word on this?

How about a scientific paper?

I don't know why this is a hill you want to die on, but...
Why are you angry and thinking I care that much?
First link:
Second one says there is an odor, not a taste. Okay though.
Why do I think you care this much? Because you keep insisting it isn't true as if I would lie about such a thing?
I didn't say it's not true that you encountered it, but that it was probably bad. Give it a rest.
I'm so glad that the price of duck has not gone up around me. And surprised, now that I think about it. I love duck. Cook them once or twice every year.
Wild duck tastes good.
So turkey is still on the menu then, in Minnesota at least.
It can stay on the menu only if each one is tortured for their liver.
The thing is, they aren't tortured when they are overfeed, so they become Foie gras. It's pretty well understood that they fuckin love being overfeed. Watch some of the videos, they don't mind at all. Doesn't really make it right but it's not torture anymore than it's torturing that much of the processed food humans eat has the same results when someone has low self control.
I don't eat Foie gras because I think it's grotesque but it's not torture.
Lol
Yeah, watch some of the damn videos, mate.
Yeah I don't think they enjoy it that much...
