M—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Oacambar 17,1M3 Serve Duck for the Holidays LANCASTER Looking for something different and delicious for your holiday table? Why not try a duck, a dish featured at many a royal banquet table in the past. Roasted, broiled, fried or bar becued, duck is just as tempting and tasty today. Traditionally, duck is roasted or broiled for holiday festivities. An orange-glazed roast duckling is a gourmet delight. But you may prefer to let the duck’s skin brown to a tempting crispness while you devote your energies to a fruit, oyster, or nut stuffing. When buying duck, be sure to allow at least one-half pound per serving. The type you’ll find most often when you shop is a “broiler duckling” or a “fryer duckling.” This is a young duck usually under eight weeks old noted for its tenderness.
