Ok gentlemen - sorry for the break in transmission there for a bit. You know, work etc.
However, I have a mission for you if you choose to accept.
I have purloined a duckling. I need the best damned duck recipe you have - with the exception of confit - time is of the essence here - lunch on the weekend.
This time of year I'd be roasting it then shredding it for a salad. Or you could bone it out and put it in the sandwich press like the spatchcock I had the other day?
