Roast in the Bag?

[Bazzer]

No offence to Mrs B, but this isn't really selling the idea.

I'd still follow the instructions. - I speak as someone who (admittedly a few years ago), read the instructions, "Boil in the bag?", and thought "Really?" It turned out they meant it.

The organs (including brain) is where the most concentrated nutrition is .

Foxy loxy knows this, hence foxy pulls off all the heads first, and snaffles them up .

Followed by entrails .
Muscle is the least valuable portion..

Don't tell the 'others' mind ..

Should I stick with the bag/instructions, risking a disappointing dinner designed by food hygienists and nutritionist weirdos....

Oi! I resemble that remark....


And never wash a chicken, there's rarely any need and it just spreads bacteria....

The Ma(i)llard Reaction?

Only when the Ruddy bag is opened at the final stage....

I've already said that. There is, however, a point to washing and/or blanching a duck, and subjecting it to other possibly bacteria-spreading indignities such as blasting air under its skin, if you happened to be aiming for the Peking Duck sort of end result.

You win the duck pun comp, tho.

Have you cooked it yet @theclaud?

Pay attention, Muggers! I've got another day of milking this pointless thread yet!

I've got a duck from Marks n Sparks, so I'm going to have a roast dinner tomorrow

Slightly off topic maybe but I once sat in the so called famous Peking Duck restaurant in Tianemen Square playing a drinking game where I wiped the floor with my hosts, the food was cack though.

Oh aye.
I'll have a gander then.

The question has to be asked: who's invited?

 

[Mr Celine]

If you're having a whole duck to yourself you'll be too stuffed to have a big dessert so may I suggest a small piece of fruit, e.g. a mandarin?

No one. I'm going for a walk with a couple of friends in the afternoon, but sadly they're vegetarian.

I've been to a few restaurants myself round there....I remember someone telling me it had to be cut/sliced into a certain amount of pieces to be authentic.
I was allways to bolloxed to take note or be able to count.

Eider know, there's no definitive anser. Maybe pochard rather than roast?
Or ask Unkraut to intercede? After all, gadwall know.
Better yet, ask on the other site, in the cooking section.
Please, I won't teal you again!i
