Just check. QLD got the same deal. I think its nation wide !
NSW is included too
looks like its SA as well
People want ducks.
There's never been a better time to buy a duck.
Who gives a duck?
Is that you Silo?
lol, 6 per customer this time. didn't go so well last year
My freezer is full o ducks.
Plus got a raincheck so can get a whole heap more.People, if your store is out o ducks, ask for a raincheck.
(I am not currently near it, but I cannot recall if there is an expiry date and/or a limit of ducks i can get with the raincheck. I think it was for an entire year, and possibly up to 20 ducks??)wow, what do you do with so many ducks?
and not one duck was given that day…
Roast and eat them as regularly as you would chicken.
Try out different recipes/marinades/coatings/stuffings.. etc etc.
specifically states no rainchecks on this one.
Was for one year.
peking duck my parents favourite. happy to try this to see the difference!
If you guys like Peanut Butter, check out the Bless & Lucky range, the one with cinnamon is great, it's half price in that catalog so I'll most likely stock up for a couple of months at $2.50. Everywhere else sells for $5 and I go through 2 jars a week lol.
haha saw that one too late when I was searching if anyone else likes the Bless & Lucky range - might need to set up one of those keyword subscription things.
Any way, my local Coles didn't have any, but the one near work had heaps so grabbed 11 cinnamon ones. I think I'll need to get my partner to hide them though otherwise I'll go through them pretty quickly lol.
Any way, my local Coles didn't have any
raincheck :)
Wow eleven is kinda a lot but then again if that's your major fat/protein source I guess it's great. Is the cinnamon one way to cinnamon-y? Like too 'spicy'. Would it taste weird with jam on toast?
last time i didnt get one, sold out, so I said to my self 'duck is friend, not food.'

this time i will get it another try =PJust go through self serve and get as many as you want. Do multiple transactions. Duh.
I wonder if it will be ground hog day. My parents have vowed to go to Coles on Wednesday.
Any good duck recipes from my fellow ozbargainers? I love duck but ive never cooked it.
step 1 buy a deep fryer
step 2 insert duck
step 3 deliciousI see you went to the same culinary school as my father lol
Roast. Eat. Repeat.
Duck meat can be tough, so good idea to roast it fully covered to keep the steam/moisture inside. Uncover it near the end to crisp/brown the skin.
Blanch it with boiling water first to 'open' up the skin. Coat with salt and leave for a bit to dry out the skin.
Chinese Five-spice is the best with duck so coat meat/inside cavity with it, together with hoisin sauce and ginger etc etc.
Baste the duck with the juices/duck fat/honey while cooking.
Use the juices to make the most amazing gravy ever.
ALWAYS keep the remaining duck fat and fry up smashed potato's with it.
Any suggestions on how to chop up the whole duck into smaller pieces? I prefer ducks in stews etc but always have problems cutting them up into more manageable pieces.
Use a knife?
I would've thought of that before I posted here right?
Do you have a cleaver-sized knife?
Those scissors are serious business, I'd only get them if I trusted the source. They can take off fingers easily, my old manager at KFC almost lost his thumb.
Cheers, looks promising.
Very simple to break down any protein. Whole fish is a pain, literally. A duck is easy. The luv a duck guys were demo ing it a few years ago at the good food and wine show. Very very easy. Just Google it.
use big chopping knife. Speed is the key.
Still have no clue how to chop it? go to a roast duck/pork shop or a Chinese restaurant and observe.That's one way to lose a finger.
That's why we have 10 of them.
Instruction videos on youtube.
Use chicken scissors, and cut it the same way you would a chicken.
Cut the entire spine out first, then piece it into preferred sizes.
And its times like these when a chest freezer would be handy. Thanks for pointing out the deal :)
Try this recipe— Vietnamese Duck Braised in Spiced Orange Juice. Tastes soooo good!

That looks like a quacker of a dish !!
Ducking good price.
(finally autocorrect gets it right)
Don't do to Earlwood Coles (NSW) and ask for a rain check, as I did last time this sale was on.
The staff member that served me was rude and refused to give me a rain check on grounds that I "looked familiar" and "probably already got a rain check before". The was the first time visiting the store in months.
BTW, I made a official complaint and store manager contacted me. Supposedly that staff member got a good arse whooping.
Peeking Duck oh yer!!!
not a chicken or a cow…
What The Duck?
Duck yeah!
Damn it looks like my Gout will come back after this.
Um… Why?

Quote: "… chicken and duck tend to be the safest choices meat-wise."
Your right I was thinking of turkey.
Always pops it head up around Xmas time.
Oh and corned beef.Ok. I thought you might have meant to post under the turducken thread. Glad I learned something today. (Have had gout in the past - do NOT want to do anything that might cause it again.)
Oh the pain.
Are they from Australia?
I think they are raised in VIC. That is where their HQ is and also I seem to recall someone telling me LuvAdUck was the only game in town for some regional town where everything revolved around raising Ducks for LuvADuck.
I'm trying to find a recipe for… some kind of duck I had YEARS ago. It was from a chinese restaurant I think, but I cannot remember much else about it, other than it was delicious. I don't think it had a citrusy taste like the recipe above would have with orange juice. It was in a plastic chinese take away food container, and I think it was just the duck meat itself - no vegetables. Maybe had some sauce but I'm not sure now. The meat was moist not dry, and appeared to be cut into chunks with a cleaver type knife. I wish I could remember what it was, so we could try making it! Anyone know what the most common duck dishes are in chinese restaurants? (I know peking duck is one, but I think that has pancakes, which the dish I had did not.)
i think it is the Tangerine/orange peel duck. Haven't come across any restaurant in Australia selling this dish. It is pretty popular in Macau/Hong Kong and certain part of the mainland China
It sounds like one of the roast ducks they have hanging in the window, chopped up.
Not sure. I guess we're just going to have to get our ducks in a row and start experiementing. ;-p
And sorry… I just re-read my post above… I made it sound like it was just duck meat. But it was still on the bones and was cleaver-cut through both bones and meat. It just had no vegetables/rice/noodles with it.
Still got 4 ducks in the freezer from last time. Mmm tasty, tasty, duck.
Familyman, if you cannae remember any particular flavours, it was probably just a whole duck that had a fairly basic seasoning mix (salt/ MSG) rubbed into it, then was roasted, cut up, and put into a container, for your enjoyment. Personally I love duck prepared this way… the bird has such a "quacking great" NATURAL taste of its own, there is no need to mess about with adding citrus to it etc… (a bit of MSG helps that "natural" flavour BLOSSOM though… hippies-and-pinkos will tell you different, but my advice is to ignore them) ;-P
Anyways, that's my guess. What you are remembering is most likely a good, honest, roast-duck rubbed with a bit of salt/MSG.Yes, it definitely could have been. I don't recall any sauce being on the meat. I think it was a chinese restaurant or takeaway somewhere in the Sydney chinatown area. My wife & I have been experimenting with asian food lately. (Tonight is beef with broccoli.)
We occasionally use MSG to make our own fried chicken, as in the "cheapskate" thread: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/69388

living social has a luv-a-duck deal at the moment for $19 for a cooking demo or $55 for a 3 hr hands on cooking class if you are interested in learning how to cook duck - well worth it (I went last week) - Highly recommended
First thing I noticed in the NSW catalogue, starting 9/4 is that for this sale on Luv a duck ducks there are NO RAINCHECKS coz I was getting ready to marshal troops to get them. It is impossible to get these ducks when they are on special in the area I live, Hurstville NSW.
I got a few rainchecks last year when the special was on and have those in the freezer. I doubt I'll get any this time though I will try a few times.
Cheerz Wabster.
I still have my rainchecks from November for a heap of these, my freezer has been too full to fit them so I haven't got them yet.
Thanks op. First time in my life carrying 12.5 kg ducks around. My freezer is full now.
Only 3 ducks were left in cole's freezer.
Is it nation wide? I guess probably VIC only because link has "vic" in it..
