Dive into ducks
We seem to have forgotten one of the attributes that made ducks popular in the past: their eggs! Many of us can remember how highly prized duck eggs were by serious cooks, particularly for home-baked cakes.
Most farms kept a few laying ducks for Mum’s baking. Townies valued their rural friendships and were thrilled when given a spare dozen duck eggs, but commercially produced bakery goods have replaced the home cook’s efforts. As well, numerous diets preclude or limit grains, so there’s a greatly reduced call on rich homemade fare.
