Cooking with Pascaria

On Saturday my friend Pascaria came over to show my housemate and I how to cook a duck. She graciously brought one of the ducks that her family breeds and sells from their yard. She showed us how to pour boiling water over the duck and pluck its feathers, roast it a bit over the charcoal stove, then cut it up and cook it in its own (AMPLE) oil. The flavor was rich and bacony.
