The domestic duck is most used in alimentation. The Rouen duck is world renowned. There are over 40 dif- ferent varieties of wild ducks. (See game for prepara¬ tion). The wild duck is of medium digestion, a little heating perhaps, but can be modified by its culinary preparation. The patties of Amiens, tureen of Nerac, and Toulouse are made of duck’s liver. Choose only young ducks, or ducklings from 6 weeks to 6 months. The Rouennaise smother the ducks, so the blood will stay inside, they are then roasted and eaten rare. The Nantaise eat them well cooked, braised or roasted. (See abbreviations — head of Chicken) Aiguillette, Roast, carved breast in aiguillette divers garnishings and sauce.
