Duck Shoot - BBC Radio 4, the Food Programme

Recommended Posts

I thought you might find this as interesting as I did:

BBC Radio 4 programme - The Food Programme explores Duck: is now the second most bred species in the world. So where is all this meat coming from? How is it being reared? How have factory systems changed in recent years, and is the gap in taste between wild and farmed birds changing?

 

As the duck shooting season gets underway, and consumption climbs steadily towards Christmas, Sheila Dillon investigates the culinary value and welfare conditions of wild and farmed duck.

Hi

 

I remember working in a restaurant as a teenager and admiring sadly the Aylesbury ducks waiting to be plucked and cooked up! I think they were only 8 weeks old??(I may be wrong here as mine were small at that age??)

 

I know they have to provide water for them to put their heads under (as I recall that was the law then)

 

In Thailand there is so much duck hanging up everywhere!

 

UM Everything round where I live if it flies gets shot out the sky during shooting season big corporate business..the ducks if they happen to be in wrong place will get shot at

 

indie :)

 

ps I sound so soppy as I do eat it but do feel a bit guilty too!
