Mon Apr 13 18:42:30 -0700 2009 279238 Pepsichug 1 4593697 Love the duck confit at Bar Ferdinand. They have both a salad and a tapa with cherries. Tue Apr 14 03:31:58 -0700 2009 4593059 11355 joluvscards 1 4593841 Mmmm.. I love duck confit. the only one i've had in philly was at Parc, though. Overall - good, but not great. It wasn't the duck so much as the entire plate; there was some sort of lentil salad that made the plate too salty.

Everything else I ate there was pretty good though. Tue Apr 14 06:45:37 -0700 2009 4593841 279238 Pepsichug 3 4594131 I hear that Fork's version is very good.

It's also dead easy to make and lasts just about forever. I have two legs packed in fat in my fridge right now that I made last November. Tue Apr 14 07:59:33 -0700 2009 4593059 53643 Boognish 2 4594309 thats the best way. a nice salt cure with good spices and good herbs. fat from SAME animal. and preserved for months to let the flavors know eachother. you can tell the confit that was made that morning vs a well thought out confit Tue Apr 14 08:38:34 -0700 2009 4594203 262946 lbtbrett 1 4594267 I haven't tried it myself, but I just noticed that Sugartown Smoked Specialties at the Wayne Farmers Market has duck confit. http://www.smokedfoods.com/ Tue Apr 14 08:24:06 -0700 2009 4593059 42513 Mawrter 1 4596853 The Chef at Bistro La Minette makes his own...I can still taste it from the cassolet from a month or two ago and just thinking about it is getting my mouth to water. http://www.bistrotlaminette.com/ call ahead, his menu changes often, just to make sure he has it on for that night. Tue Apr 14 21:52:28 -0700 2009 4593059 105667 hotspur 1 4608571 Brasserie Perrier used to have the best, beyond a doubt. Chef Perrier's method is fantastic. Parc, on the other hand, buys their duck confit in; they don't even make their own. Typical Stephen Starr... Table 31 has confit on the menu occasionally as a special; if you see it, don't miss it.

Funny thing, I had actually bought some the day before, for the first time. We got around to eating it last night. It was good -- it had been produced someplace in Connecticut, not at Sugartown farms, where a lot of their things come from. Still, I like the duck confit from D'Artagnan (mail order, sometimes in grocery stores) better. Mon Apr 20 10:18:06 -0700 2009 4611179 11342 FrancisdeR
