I believe there's usually some small amount available at the fresh market in cameron village.

1/25/2008 1:35:48 PM

duck eggs?

if you know what i'm talking about...

1/25/2008 1:37:40 PM

I never sold (or even saw any) duck when I worked in the meat department at the fresh market.


but that was a decade ago.

1/25/2008 1:40:03 PM

when i worked at winn dixie(before they went bellyup pretty much) someone bought some rabbit meat from our meat department...we had to specifically order it for him...shit was like 30 dollar bucks

1/25/2008 1:41:30 PM

^ don't you mean $30 dollar bucks?

^^^ what's wrong with duck eggs? i obviously don't know what you are talking about...

1/25/2008 2:10:27 PM

I wish i I had duck feet
And I can tell you why
You can splash around in duck feet
You don't have to keep them dry

I would be very surprised if Whole Foods didn't have it. I'm pretty sure that I've seen it there before.

1/25/2008 4:07:27 PM

^Do they have foie gras at whole foods? I'd laugh if they sold it there.

1/25/2008 4:58:51 PM

They've honestly got a really great butcher section there. Probably my favorite in town ahead of Fresh Market.

1/25/2008 5:01:58 PM

i've seen whole ducks for sale at wal-mart super centers before, also I imagine one of the bigger harris teeters might have duck too

[Edited on January 25, 2008 at 5:40 PM. Reason : I tried to call them dukes twice ]

1/25/2008 5:39:58 PM

AC Market (Chinese market) and Grand Asia both have ducks, but they are frozen and I dont think they have duck breasts though, just whole frozen ducks and I think they are 10 bucks per duck

1/25/2008 6:28:42 PM

I avoid the Asia Market because it has the scariest parking lot ever. Buncha old asian women trying to back out of parking spacing using only their rearview mirror.

1/25/2008 6:40:21 PM

excellent. i asked chef at the restaurant where i work and he said the teeter has them frozen.

this will be quite tasty.

1/25/2008 6:43:07 PM

I've seen fresh duck at Trader Joes in Cary before.

1/25/2008 7:50:00 PM

yep

trader joes has duck

1/25/2008 8:43:39 PM

Fresh Market has duck.

Foie gras is delicious

1/26/2008 11:55:02 AM

as mentioned, in the upper building at the farmer's market there's a woman who sells duck

1/26/2008 2:31:20 PM

i'm fairly sure that foie gras is illegal

if you ever look up how it is produced you would see why......absolutely horrible

1/26/2008 6:58:27 PM

isnt it a duck liver?


whats so disgusting about that...you cut out the liver

1/26/2008 6:59:51 PM

I've bought goose at Harris Teeter and I'm pretty sure they have duck.

1/26/2008 7:35:56 PM

PF Chang at the Crabtree Valley Mall has duck which is delectable and delicious.

Whole Foods should have some fucking ducks. I can't tell you how many of those fuckers I loaded into cold cases during high school

1/27/2008 2:15:22 AM

man i worked at the fresh market during my true freshman year at ncsu. in the meat department and in the deli. never once saw a duck. cut up tons of chickens though. and sliced lots of meat.

i guess they have them now. who else said they worked there 10 years ago, remember DAN THOMAS, i think his name was?

chickenhead was like the cashier manager there, im sure she knows who im talking about. and all the little high school hos that worked there. that was back when people thought you were cool just cause you were in college. weird.

1/27/2008 2:47:52 AM

I worked at the original fresh market, on lawndale, in greensboro, over 10 years ago

I don't remember seeing any duck

1/27/2008 9:28:50 AM

^ I was by there the other day (going over to the Natural Science Center to see about a job when I graduate). I'm from that side of Greensboro (well, lived there till I was 4, have lots of friends/family out that way, and spent a lot of time there). My Daddy grew up on Lawndale. Anyways, I remember going there on a field trip in preschool. That was 17 years ago.


Also, what is so about duck eggs?

i associate duck eggs with Balut (a Filipino delicacy), and that makes me .

Foie Gras should not be illegal. All that needs to be illegal are excessive forced-feeding fattening methods (hell, even then this method is only done the last two weeks of their life). The fatty liver can be achieved naturally too (they fatten up for migration).

jackleg, TFM doesn't process the duck (it is in the shipped vacuum-wrap).

1/27/2008 8:59:22 PM

Uh, no. Its perfectly legal.

Yeah but those methods are what define "foie gras". If such methods become illegal, then all you will have is

"Duck liver"

or

"Goose liver".

So yes, foie gras should be illegal.

1/28/2008 7:21:37 AM

^^
uh, not really

Quote :

"Fifteen countries have laws prohibiting foie gras production on ethical grounds, and, in 2004, California passed the first U.S. law to end the production and sale of foie gras in the state. A Zogby poll conducted in September 2005 revealed 79 percent of likely voters in Illinois agree that foie gras production should be outlawed.[The Chicago ban took effect in 2007, but chefs are fighting it.]"

despite the objections of the [loser] big 'L' libertarians (the anthropocentric ones) these bans may survive

I hope ^^you're not one of those all-too-common anthropocentric food pornographers

by which I mean, one whom places human interests, primarily taste and pleasure, as paramount in the culinary arts

and not human, animal, or ecological health, sustainability, or well-being, as it should be

all hype

They may not have it now, but they definitely used to have a selection of it. I pondered trying it once or twice, but it disgusts more than other similarly creepy foods.

Foie gras is only illegal in Chicago as far as I know.
