Game for duck this Christmas

Whole roasted meat on the dining table is a sure showstopper at any Christmas dinner. It usually consists of either turkey or goose, or meat such as leg of lamb, ham, pork belly or knuckle, and lately a turducken — turkey stuffed with duck stuffed with chicken.

Diners of this recent monstrosity have commented how the duck’s flavour reigns supreme compared to the other meats in this frankenbird. But why not just roast a duck for Christmas?
