ste12b Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hi, they suggest about 200g per person, so depends on size. http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/duck-re...-cheat-s-rice-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perazzi82 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 if its a good sized adult mallard then 1 between two people should be a more than ample portion. maybe to ample! altho to be honest i have been known to sit down to my own big fat mallard and polish him off quite swiftly, there aint a whole pile on them like you might expect once you start cutting into the breast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
