    Love a duck is Cockney rhyming slang for f*%@. True story.

    • I swear I heard Geoffrey Rush's pelican character say it near the end of Finding Nemo, yesterday. When he's surrounded by seagulls on the pier/jetty, and gathers Dory & Marlin in his mouth (to save them).

    Aldi hsa them for that price everyday.

  • +3

    It's been as low as $11 on sale.

    • +3

      So? That makes a difference how?

        Means the deal is here at a good time since it is the Islamic month of fasting (Ramadan).
        Thanks kronicmacstigator!

          @kronicmacstigator: "They" will enforce Sharia law with ducks?

          I don't know what the duck is stuffed with, but I reckon I may know what you're full of :-)

          What a quack!

        • @kronicmacstigator:
          What on earth are you talking about?

      • tastes not as good as non-halal.

        and for the people say 'its exactly the same' then why dont you eat non-halal? because it has less magical fairy points

        • @kronicmacstigator: Unlike oil. Must be tough refusing any oil product because you don't want to support terrorism. You'd have to refuse to get in a car, plane, not buy anything with plastic in it or eat any food shipped by a truck.

        Because I don't support terrorism or sharia law

          You seem pretty happy in supporting ignorance, however…

        • @IHateFrasierCrane:

          Ignorance…

          You see the things I see on a daily basis and you would change your tune. I'm the least ignorant person out there. I am fully aware of what happens. It's not pretty!

          Tried explaining to a 10 year old kid why he has to be made a ward of the state because his daddy was cooking drugs in the caravan they lived in and that he just got a 5 year jail sentence?

          Yeah… ignorant… that's it…

          What the hell does that have to do with your ignorance on Muslims?

        • +1

          Excellent, because this Halal certified duck does neither..

          I'll try and find you a deal on some hoisin sauce and you can enjoy some peking duck

          Are you drunk? Your comments are an incoherent, racist babble.

      so is the coconut water in this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/199548

      Can you please ensure you are consistent and inform us of all halal based products..

      • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halal

        Meat can be non-halal whereas coconut water is not likely to be unless coconut was considered an animal or intoxicant by your standard?

          or people could just not mention it at all, as the only reason its mentioned is to stir up some 'I refuse to support terrorism tax'/'Muslim tax' comments, which are best left to talk back radio

          I don't see anyone mentioning any 'Heart Tick', 'Kosher' or any other certifications on food posts, and they are no different.

        • @SBOB: I frankly thought it was mentioned as a heads up to those people who'd want to know about those stuff. If it was done to stir up comments like what you've mentioned… sigh. On slightly different side of the story, I finally found a use for "Hide" button.

          @SBOB:

          The heart foundation guys don't want to kill me, that's the difference

        • @kronicmacstigator:

          and neither do Halal certification suppliers

          I'll probably guess that you're statistically more likely to be killed in Australia by troll-haters than an actual Muslim ;)

    I got 2 of these when they were on sale last time. I wouldn't touch them again, the time and effort that you put into cooking and cleaning let alone the amount of meat you get off them is not worth it. Spend a bit more and go get it already cooked from one of those asian specialty shops :)

    • I confit a couple of ducks every winter and always get much more value out of buying two ducks than what it costs to buy 4 confit legs. For two ducks ($36) + 200g pot of duck fat ($6), i get:

      4 Confit legs
      4 duck breasts
      3 litres duck stock
      enough left over fat for several trays of duck-fat roast potatoes.

      To buy 4 confit duck legs is around $50, while to buy 4 duck breasts would cost another $30. I'm pretty much $40 ahead just from buying the ducks and processing myself, and if you want to put a price on the stock and duck-fat roast potatoes, then thats even more value right there. A little time pays a handsome reward here.

      • Each to their own I guess but for me I would rather let it be done a traditional way for me :)

      • You don't really need to buy the duck fat. If you are going to the trouble of breaking dow the duck yourself, there is usually heaps of fat in the neck and around the cavity that can be trimmed then rendered down.

        • Yep, you're right. I render the fat from the carcass, but find I still need more to confit (i.e. cook , then preserve) the legs in their own fat. I confit using a slow cooker - so simple, but does need extra fat to cover the legs.

    • +1

      Time and effort? I just put mine in the oven for a bit and then took it out again. Was perfect.

  • +3

    It is always $14.99 for 2.2kg size at my local Aldi.

    • Not everyone has aldi though, no Aldi in SA

  • they've sold by the trolley load the last few times they were half price. at $16, not that exciting.

  • +2

    Did you know that most ducks bred for their flesh are raised in cramped sheds (just like chickens) and never, ever get to experience wading in water?

    • +8

      I sure think of how them poor ducklings never got to swim when I'm eating them covered in hoi sin sauce….poor things

    • @thevofa - Do you eat any meat ? We will try our best to find evidence to turn you off them.

      • You would just be wasting your time….These people don't live in the real world.

        Oh the poor chickens/ducks or just about anything else people can feel self righous about…..but who gives a f*** about the millions of people starving or trafficked or working in sweatshops like robots and never get to see their kids or those people who wish they had a cramped shed to live in….. poor ducks :(

    • No one seems to discuss free range ducks. But I imagine them swimming is a nightmare for health/hygiene.

      1mtr X 1mtr (1 bird per sq mtr) has become a standard for chickens. 21cm X 29.7cm was the Luv-a-duck standard. That's 16 ducks per square metre!

      Their current disclosed info:

      That's better than 18mths ago, where they got fined $360,000:

    so it's not actually a bargain if Aldi has it at this price everyday?

  • How many KG does the Pecking duck weigh? Might be cheaper to get that, unless you can cook.

    • Comfortable killing it yourself?

      • LOL, I meant the cooked ones at Chinese BBQ.

        • Was just joking about it "pecking" :)
