Has anyone seen it on a menu here? Wed Feb 08 19:11:58 -0800 2006 0 tina 1 212438 I think the gesiers in the classic salade landaise are confit (preserved) duck gizzards, not necks. And quite yummy they indeed are! I'm waiting for someone to reply to your query on the availability of the salade....

Le Petit Robert has had it but it's not on their current Web menu. Could give them a call.

As a side note, it was wonderful. Thu Feb 09 09:58:29 -0800 2006 212429 0 Monty
