	Duck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, mostly smaller than their relatives the swans and geese, and may be found in both fresh and salt water.
		Most domestic ducks were bred from the wild Mallard, Anas platyrhynchos, but many breeds have become much larger than their wild ancestor, with a "hull length" (from base of neck to base of tail) of 12 inches or more and routinely able to swallow an adult British Common Frog, Rana temporaria, whole.
		Ducks are sometimes confused with several types of unrelated water birds with similar forms, such as loons or divers, grebes, gallinules, and coots.

	Peking Duck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After drying for half a day, the duck is hung by its neck in a hot oven where it is roasted for an hour or more, during which time the copious fat of the duck melts off and the skin becomes crispy.
		A traditional way of serving Peking Duck is a three course meal: first course was served with the crispy skin and steamed mu-shi flour pancakes, slivered spring onions (U.S.:scallions), sliced cucumber strips, hoisin sauce, and plum sauce.
		Crispy aromatic duck is a variant of Peking duck that originated in the Chinese community in the United Kingdom.

	Muscovy Duck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Muscovy Duck Cairina moschata is a large perching duck that breeds inland in central and tropical South America.
		Domesticated birds have re-escaped into the wild and now breed outside the native domain, including western Europe and the United States.
		It can be crossed with the domestic duck in captivity to produce hybrids which are known as Mulard Duck ("mule duck" because they are sterile) and are often used in the production of foie gras.

	Duck - Glossary from Hormel Foods
		Ducks that are decendants from the Mallard species include the White Pekin duck which is also known as the Long Island duck, a type of duck raised for its meat.
		Ducks that are 8 to 16 weeks old have gained more fat and are then classified as "roasters" which are most suitable for roasting or cooking with a rotisserie grill.
		Duck breasts consist of a boneless piece of meat that may be skinned or skinless that can be prepared similar to chicken breasts, by roasting, searing, sautéing, slow-cooking with other ingredients.

		The sound made by some female ducks is called a "quack"; a common (and false) urban legend is that quacks do not produce an echo.
		Most domestic ducks were bred from the wild Mallard, Anas platyrhyncha, but many breeds have become much larger than their wild ancestor, with a "hull length" (from base of neck to base of tail) of 12 inches or more and routinely able to swallow an adult British Common Frog, Rana temporaria, whole.
		This happened because the older Old English word for "duck" came to be pronounced the same as the word for "end": other Germanic languages still have similar words for "duck" and "end": for example, Dutch eend = "duck", eind = "end".

		Ducks.All the varieties of the domesticated duck are descended from the common mallard or wild duck, Anas boschas, a species which, though timid in its wild state, is easily domesticated, and suffers changes of form and color in a few generations.
		Decoy or call ducks are small breeds of a very loquacious character, which were originally bred for the purpose of attracting the wild birds to the decoys.
		Geese.The domestic goose (q.v.) of Europe is undoubtedly the descendant of the migratory Gray lag goose, Anser cinereus, from which it differs chiefly by its increased size.

		I had thought that the purpose of fruit with duck was to give acidity as a necessary antidote to the fattiness of the farmed birds.
		A farmed duck is an accommodating bird and is delicious whether a little undercooked or cooked completely through, but the same is hardly true of wild birds - overcooked mallard or teal is a tough, dry and sorry affair.

		When I watched for a while, the big duck did in fact dunk this little one completely under, and when the small one got away the larger would chase and grab it with its bill.
		At first I thought they were eating the smaller duck, but after a while the big one let it go, and all 3 swam peacefully to shore.
		I think maybe they were adult ducks giving the younger one a lesson in diving for food, perhaps.

		The difference between ducks and chickens is the main thing which makes this book valuable in itself, especially since many of the techniques appear to be unique to duck cookery.
		Aside from the confit method, one of the best values derived from duck is the high quality of the broth one can make from duck, in many ways as valuable and as flavorful as stocks derived from veal.
		Duck has an aura of luxury about it for a very reasonable price (as long as you leave off the foie gras).

		For over 20 years, Grimaud had been researching the Muscovy duck's genetics (it is known in France as the Canard de Barbarie) and had perfected the breeding of this variety of duck to the point where the Muscovy ducks became Europe's most popular breed.
		Grimaud's ducks brought back wonderful memories of Sunday lunches in the Southwest of France with my family and I thought that something so tasty had to be shared with more people.
		You may also purchase duck parts, like the leg/thigh cut or the juicy, tender magrets (breasts) that can be simply grilled, sliced diagonally and served with a splendid green peppercorn or raspberry sauce.

		The Cayuga originated in the United States in 1851 in Lake Cayuga, New York, and are most likely a cross between the Black East Indie duck (a domesticated duck), "the common duck," and the Buenos Ayres (a wild American duck).
		One of the few duck breeds to trace its origins to the Unites States, the Cayuga is a large duck with the drakes weighing at least eight pounds and the ducks around seven pounds.
		The Cayuga duck was, and is, an extremely hardy duck, which made it well suited to take care of itself, an important quality for pioneer poultry.
