It's at least possible that you're getting carried away.
I had duck fat once.
With a duck.
Didden help.

The wrong person cooked your goose - uh, duck. Or you bought or got the wrong duck.
This is via a professional chef we know -- and he sure knows what to do with a thing of duck fat.

Potatoes cooked in duck fat - good stuff. Also, D'artagnan makes a duck bacon that is absolutely delicious.

Makes an excellent substitute for butter, assuming you like bread + butter by itself.

Love duck rillettes for a snack.

This might be just the grease we need to help slide us into our oversized caskets.

Point taken, Amy—

> Or you bought or got the wrong duck.
Hence the divorce.

There's a gastro-pub by my house that has popcorn fried in duck fat as a bar snack/appetizer.
Delicious.
