I saw $20 per kilo quoted, which is about the same as I paid for the duck breasts (£6 for 480g.) You can get small whole ducks for a lot less though. I've seen them for about £5.50. Its funny how duck is moreexpensive over there - everything else seems to be much cheaper! Andrew: Quince or rhubarb... that is a tough one. I'd say go for the rhubarb while it's in season! Ed: I think you'll find the text is actually raspberry coloured ;). Thanks for hosting this week. It must be such hard work to sort it all out!

Incidentally stewed rhubarb is one of my favourite breakfasts. Sorry about being cheeky over yuor rhubarb coloured text and thanks for taking part in Weekend Herb Blogging.

Either duck is much less expensive in the UK, or you're an heiress masquerading as a student! Either way, I'm so jealous you get to eat duck so often. I adore it. Thanks for dropping me a line at my blog, Ros. I won't tell your parents you've outed them as completely and utterly mad. "Mad." That's so British. We always say crazy. I love it! Goodness!

Rhubarb is officially a vegetable, so you have broken out of your rut very nicely, and it sounds delicious. I love duck but it’s hard to find and expensive here.

Low fat was more important that flavour, which I think is a great shame. I've seen some nice duck breasts in Tesco with skin on recently although these came from Borough.
