What the French can't do with a duck isn't worth knowing

---

We have discovered that the cusine in this area of France is heavily duck influenced. We are bombarded every mealtime with more and more fantastic recipies for our feathered friend. They come in all shapes and sizes, from packets to cans, sliced onto salad or converted to the local speciality foie gras, there isn't much that can't be done with a duck.

My favourite so far is duck saucisson with a lightly peppered outter layer.

They eat duck the same way we would eat chicken in the UK. It is everywhere. Not that I'm complaining, it's just that myself and helen expected to be loosing a little weight around the waist by tucking into fresh veg and salad whilst we camp, however the reality is that the aquatic fowl is adding the pounds left right and centre. You may say to yourself why don't we just pick salad from the menu? well the simple fact when the choice is put in front of us although we mean well it's a canard choice we make!

Anybody want a duck?
Ah, it's all a fiendish plot. The cheese eating surrender monkeys are fattening you up to become.........oh no......fois gras de Honisett, a rare but much sought after delicacy. Sounds as if you're having a grand time and we know what you mean about always intending to order salad but never getting round to it. We've been doing that for thirty years,as you can tell from our combined girthssssssssss. Hear the house hunting is going well. Keep the blogs coming. LOL xxx

Delighted to see that Ma'llard and Lady Honisett are doing so well, and that you've taken another great English sporting tradition with you.........usually out for a duck. xxxxxxxxxxx
