Cassoulet? Other suggestions? And if cassoulet, anyone have a great recipe? I hate Costco. This kind of thing happens all too often.

I have yet to make it - but please feel free to experiment. http://www.gumbopages.com/food/soups/duck-gumbo.html Thu Dec 06 07:23:02 -0800 2007 3184374 75332 Gio 1 3184453 Nyleve: Try using it in this quick pizza - http://www.chow.com/recipes/10750 - or even in this pasta - http://www.chow.com/recipes/10668 - instead of the pancetta.

I was too busy trying to split a 6-pack of pork tenderloins with my son...that's too funny. Paella...that's a FANTASTIC idea.

I'm planning to warm them and then slice thin/carve to serve with breads, tomato jam, and mustards as part of a holiday lunch on Sunday.

A brief heat loosened the fat, and the meat was juicy, toothsome, and flavorful. We've been picking at the carcasses like a ham for days now. Highly recommend.

I'm from Texas, but my sis moved to Wisconsin recently and sends me Bacon as a christmas and Birthday gift, and it is well worth it. Glad to hear the duck is good too.
