With a margarita by the pool, and breast filets done on the blackstone what’s not to like about that scenario!

Re: u.p.
Jeff,
I have been told this recipe is excellent on diving ducks. Folks who can't stand to eat Woodcock really like it.
6-8 Woodcock -feeds 3 or 4 people
Fillet off breasts of the woodcock w/no skin
Cut off legs w/thigh, w/no skin.
Mix a marinade w/this:
Minced fresh ginger- about 3 quarter size pieces
Minced 2 large cloves of garlic
3-4 tablespoons of Soy sauce
1 tbs+- of brown sugar
Several drops + of Asian Sesame oil
Black pepper
1 oz+- hard liquor. (I used rum but whiskey etc would work)
(cut up some green onion-put aside)
Marinade WC meat for an hour or so.
Heat a pan w/1 tbs veg oil til smoking hot. Add meat and stir cook til meat turns color--keep heat high. Just a few minutes. Check to make sure it is rare! Dont overcook.
Just at end add a small handful of green onion.
Place meat on top of white rice or to side and add a little more fresh green onion on top.

Re: u.p.
That’s a pretty fancy recipe Tom. Normally, when I cook an entire duck, I put it in a pan and put it in the oven for 50-60 minutes depending on size. Then, make a little duck gravy and enjoy. I guess I’m a simple guy.

Re: u.p.
I've seen you eat Jeff. You like the good stuff.
PS. I've used this on Woodcock quite often. Excellent when served with Asparagus and wild rice served with an adult beverage of choice.
Talking about a bad eating duck. Anyone ever eat a Merganser?
Re: u.p.
I have and it was awful. We ate a goldeneye one time while we were on a hunting trip and I believe it was almost as bad.

Just mention the words broccoli or asparagus and it's enough to put them in convulsions.

Re: u.p.
I have no idea why anyone would ever eat broccoli.
