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. A “roaster
