Well, I recently have cooked a duck and have lots of nice yellow fat/grease
left over. I know that there must be *some* use for it, and I was wondering
what all you Nice Net.Folks out there would do with it?
I also have large amounts (1/2gal) of goose grease too...
I just don't want to throw it away...

I didn't see the original article, but my grandmother (who used to cook ducks & geese fairly often) would refrigerate the fat and use it as lard in recipes calling for it (mostly for baking cookies, if memory serves me). -- Marty Shannon UUCP: ihnp4!attunix!mjs Phone: +1 (201) 522 6063 Disclaimer: I speak for no one.

"The fat of a ducke is to be mixed well with the blood of three edithores (you don't get much blood out of edithors or stones!) thius mixture placed in a vessel of pure crystal and kept hidden on the shelves of youe neighborhood pharmacie for two monthes beyond the expiration date shal result in a magickal preparation that will cause George Lucas to maketh a moving picture of your life" >I also have large amounts (1/2gal) of goose grease too... >I just don't want to throw it away...

And just to tie this back into religion, the Yellow Duck arises from the Americanoid version of the Turkish farewell "Allahaismarladik", which I guess is "Allah go with you": American embassy personnel would mumble "I lost my yellow duck", which with a sufficiently noisy background resembled the correct phrase. Of course, one could throw Yellow Duck fat in lieu of Spam or vegetables at Ubizmatists or those who revile them. -- Jim Gillogly {decvax, vortex}!randvax!jim jim@rand-unix.arpa
