Duck Duck Duck. Great price
Love duck, great bargain. I see peeking duck pancakes in my future :)
Save yourself some hassle and go to the restaurant lol. Took us like 6 hours for 1 duck and it tastes funny T_T
How to make Peking duck.
- Google how "How to: Peking Duck"
- Watch video.
- Jot down the 121 steps involved.
- Scrumple notepad. Take car keys. Drive out of house.
- Enjoy your Peking duck at your local chinese restaurant.
I'll end up marinating it in same BBQ sauce concoction that I make for beef and pork and just call it peeking duck.
Feed a duck a bicky, instant peaking duck.
Great deal but my crappy local coles dont sell duck..
have you provided a link showing the side of a freezer earth? ;7)
Omg, this is cheap, i'm gonna get 5
Are the pancake packs on special too?
Do they sell duck eggs as well…?
So tempted to neg the deal based on this information. Plenty of bad publicity. They obviously fell fowl of the law. Thanks Daabido.
They tried ducking these claims but landed in hot water.
The settlement was no poultry sum either.
You guys quack me up.
seems every tale has a duck side
OK, I have to neg this deal. After reading many articles, came to the conclusion this company cares little about animals. Imagine these poor creatures never seeing the light of day, and claiming they were grown and grain fed in the spacious Wimmera wheatlands! Should be ashamed.
Not trying to defend the company, but I seem to remember reading the reports in the paper as something like this: they had multiple subcontractor farms, and one of them didn't adhere to the stated claims. This subcontractor has since been dumped. AFAIK, it wasn't the whole company.
Look at the very top of their website http://www.luvaduck.com.au/. Would you buy their products if you were greeted with that Federal Court Notice?
Yes.
Silvertone just gave what is on the face of it a very reasonable explanation, this doesn't excuse luv-a-duck and their public shaming on their website and the fine are fair and just but at the end of the day they screwed up, the screw up dealt with so that it won't happen again (the fine and public shaming should see to that).
The company's legal cost would have easily exceeded half a million dollars and will now surely lead to the company doing far more checks with who they go in to business with as well as doing random checks to ensure all of their criteria are met.
Coming back to your argument. I don't see why the government mandated placing of the company's deception would have any impact on buying the product. It would be nice however if directly under it there were a press release from the company's CEO or managing director issuing both an apology and ensuring that they will engage in better screening and more morally upstanding practices in the future.
False, misleading and deceptive conduct by Luv-a-Duck Pty Ltd
False, misleading and deceptive conduckt by luv a duck - there you go, fixed it for you.
not to be a stick in the mud as this is so cheap,
but,duck is high in saturated fat and cholesterol
You forgot high in taste and awsomeness!!
Dont forget to add a bit of duck to the toppings on todays dominos pizza deal.nothing wrong with saturated fat
.. as long as you reduce your intake of Sugar & refined carbohydrates
General public misunderstanding of cholesterol, see here
Cholesterol in food has only a small effect on low density lipoprotein (LDL or bad) cholesterol. Saturated and trans fats in food causes a much greater increase in LDL
cholesterol.All animal fat is going to be high in saturated fat.
And yet people have been enjoying it for 1000's of years…
Mmmm…Duck à l'Orange
whoaaa…thanks op!!..might get a couple of ducks and time to harvest some duck fats!!
Refuse to buy from them based on the information re misleading conduct. Love eating duck but will not support a business that mistreats animals either.
That court order on the top of their website means I would not buy from them. Recommended you guys do not either but up to you.
Sold out at 3 coles I've visited.
You didn't get a rain check so you can get it for the same price when it's back in stock. Better yet get the rain check at all 3 Coles since they've got 12months expiry.
Coles I visited last Saturday said no rain check for this item. However, the young girl did give me a $2 credit voucher and I immediately redeem the voucher. So I saved $2 just for asking. My wife went to another Coles this afternoon and the guy said no more stock and no rain check was offered.
The word is out amongst my local chinese restaurateurs, and it is impossible to get this deal. As soon as they are restocked at both local Coles, they get cleaned out. Staff member told me one person checked out a trolley load. Hopefully I'll get a few rain checks though I'm not sure they keep many ducks normally.
Well end result is this special is pretty well over, with no stock being available in any of the 6 or so stores I've tried. From day 1 of the special might I add. Same story, we can't get them, no more Luv a duck at Coles ever.
Whole thing is a debacle and I hope whoever it was in Coles that said they had stock for a 2 week half price special gets a major kick up the bum, or worse!
All of you that bothered with rain checks. No go, no more Luv a Duck ducks at Coles.
I'm seriously considering contacting Fair Trading (state) or ACCC (federal) to see if this is false advertising. And it appears again in the Coles catalogue starting tomorrow, 27/11 and they haven't had stock for most of the current catalogue.
that blows a million goats. such a good deal. i picked up a few after christmas last year as they normally stock up on the fresh ones. $5/kg which made them around $12 each.
My wife went to Coles (Norwood branch) this afternoon and saw eight ducks in the freezer. Got one herself and one for her friend.
I was surprised that i wondered into my coles (New Farm queensland) at closing time and found the last one :) might be a sign they are restocking
Great, finally got 2 ducks today (thanks to raincheck) at coles caulfield :)
Likewise, also picked up 3 using raincheck last week. :-)
They seem to be back in stock now at most Coles stores. Got 4 today using raincheck from the sale. Expiry date is 2015 so no worries keeping them in the freezer.
Supposedly they've had them in stock all along, even when shelves were empty. They just weren't restocking during the sale because people were buying them in almost commercial quantities, and started the rainchecks to stop individuals buying 8+ at a time. But if you had a raincheck and the shelf was empty you could have just asked a manager to go out back and get them for you.
I even took a photo of the shelf in the local store that had a sticker saying "do not restock" for almost a week and a half of the sale period.
Apparently at $22 they weren't selling any at all, hence the half price special, but didn't realise demand would be so great even with the False and Misleading Conduct fiasco.
You'll probably find that they'll reduce the price permanently to a level where they generate more sales (e.g. $15-$16).
They might be appearing in other areas but neither Hurstville store has any in the freezer. The one at the station doesn't even have a freezer tag for them where they were.
But I have a few rainchecks, which as everyone now knows are valid for a year, so I'll get them eventually :-)
Plucka duck!
