Wild Duck With Orange And Veg

[marsh man]

Done the last duck I shot in the oven and finished it off under the grill , very , very tender , unlike the first one I done that was tougher than the steel that put it to rest , used the gravy the duck was done in and you could taste the Orange , a bit strong if anything , overall it was alright and will have the rest of the duck tomorrow cold , and my dog will finish the steamed veg off .

Yes I keep learning by my mistakes , one mistake I nearly done was closing the top oven door when I finished it off under the grill , that could have been a very costly mistake to say the least .    MM

Simon ... I done exactly as you and welsh1 said , started it off breast down and then half way through I turned it over until the time was up , then transferred it to the grill and kept an eve on it until it looked right , a fair bit of work involved and it will take a little while in the morning to get everything clean , still something I ain't short of is time

I genuinely saw that roast duck and went WOW !!! Looks amazing 😃

Usually though,,,, not a criticism, more of a guide,,,, the orange is made into a sauce, not put on the plate 😉 See this as a guide and tweak things to suit 🫡

I would had never normally thought of using a Orange , it just isn't me to mess about with Oranges , but I told you when I went in Waitrose on Sunday afternoon the girl had just reduced what I thought were Oranges , I bought two net fulls which had about eight in each net , it wasn't till I got home and saw they were to make Marmalade , something else I am not keen on so I thought I will use them up in my cooking , haven't a clue how to use them so I stuffed two inside the duck and stuck a few bits in the gravy , still got several left so I will read up on the sauce bit , if not I will put them in the food bank at Morrisons , someone might like them .   MM

Morning welsh 1      THANKS , still not up to your good ladies duck she done recently but I took on board roasting it breast down for around half the time and then turned it back up so to speak , not bad at all but like my ole teacher used to say , there is a lot of room for improvement .  MM

THANKS ..  The satisfaction start from shooting the duck in the first place , watching your dog doing the retrieve , then making a nice job of processing the duck and then end up doing a fair job in cooking it , if it taste good then that is a bonus , then if it don't the retriever get a bit more for his tea

Hello, That looks Sumptuous MM, 👍, , Just add as i know you like your Waitrose coffee like me, From the end of January you can have a free Coffee without the need to buy any groceries !!!!!!! , I not sure a good thing for Waitrose as the queues will be very long and stores will need more coffee machines and a full time filler upper

I did get a Email from Waitrose to tell me that , that will save me buying a sandwich or a cake and then sitting in my motor to eat and drink them before I go back and carry on with my shopping and end up with another one to drink on the way home , our Waitrose is not that big and very rarely there is more than one who is waiting for a coffee , very handy as I go up the coast a lot when the weather improve and that is a very nice pit stop either on the way out or on the way home , still my favorite shop .   MM

Nice one Krico ..... I will do my best to get one more before the inland season finish ,  I would had gone tonight but it was raining hard until it was nearly dark and fairly cold as well , might go tomorrow night as it should be windy and there should be a few duck about , failing that we have got another shoot Saturday which is the last planed one and we have got a day on the 31st to clear the cock birds up , so far we haven't had one really rough day with heavy rain , Saturday should be fine and hopefully the weather will last out for one more week , nothing worse to get a really wet day when for a lot of them it is the only chance they get with standing on a peg .   MM

I don't know about that Dave , there slogan should be like Tesco's , every little count , I must admit I buy very little if it isn't on offer or reduced , the best time is from about 3pm on a Sunday afternoon , the girls clear everything from the reduced cabinet and then take it out to the back and reduce it all again , sometimes you get the same one or two people waiting until she come back but they are waiting for certain stuff where I am not that fussy , if it is cheap enough then I normally buy it so the least they can do is to treat me to a coffee .

If I leave anything on the shelf then it would more than likely kill you , if I don't want it then it wouldn't be worth having

Hello, The Waitrose in Town is not big and has 2 Coffee Machines and always very busy, Then there is Wantage, Witney, Wallingford so i will no doubt be visiting when the weather improves but i shall still buy a few groceries
