We do not have good duck in South Africa. Even our local Chinese restaurant has
given up and imports his duck from China. It was with delight that Lynne found
six duck breasts (packs of 2) in Woolworths. And they were not too fatty, she
was able to render the fat on the breasts down well, but the skin did not crisp
up. Why? And the portions were a disaster. In each pack was one very large
breast and one small. Woolworths, thank you for providing the duck breasts,
often impossible to source but please, pack them in even sizes. They are
incredibly expensive, so to avoid having the small ones overcooked and the
large ones under, it is so, so important to time their cooking accurately and,
when you are in the middle of a lively dinner party, this is often not
possible. Please do what they do overseas: allow us the choice of size
