smiiithy Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I was kidnly given a duck on Saturday. It's hung in my garage since then and I was intending to prepare it earlier but have only got round to it now since I've been ill. As I've began to pluck it I've found parts of the skin are green and it's rather pongy smelling. Has it spoiled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeon_snIPer Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 It might have been edible if it was at paunched when received. But now if you eat it you might turn green :-) /s/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 3 days max hanging for duck and certainly not as long as that when warm. Besides, it's ******* green. Eat it and bogies at your peril. Yum yum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiiithy Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I know I'm very disappointed I've been looking forward to it since you gave it to me. It's actually only a small part that's gone green so I may be able to salvage part of the meat and although I can't have a whole roast duck it would be damn good in a terrine! I'll certainly oblige in taking another although this time is will be getting dressed the same day Sorry Shaun! I hate nothing more than wasting perfectly good game, such a waste tsk tsk.....that was a perfectly good duck (slightly dead) when i gave it too you...... i take it you want another one now....... i will be out again the sat before the sunday shoot if you want another....... let me know shaun (maybe its the dye off the feathers.... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday? If so it must be a very warm garage!!!!! EXPLAIN BOYO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiiithy Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) This is true I was given it on Sunday morning The worst part is I even asked for it, was given it for free and have now let it spoil I assure you my garage is little warmer than my fridge, like I say it would have been straight in my oven but I've had swine flu and only been out of bed to dress the pheasant since it seemed easy. I only let it hang so long because of this thread, I figured if you can hang them 5 days in October what's 6 days in November? Lesson learned, wildfowl dressed same day in future. I didn't mean to waste it honestly Shaun Edited November 27, 2009 by smiiithy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
