When you make chicken noodle soup, isn't the chicken boiled? If so, then what's so odd about boiling a duck?

I this case you're flavoring the broth, not really using the broth to cook the chicken (even though it does). When boiling something, you're missing out the the maillard reaction!

so i guess, you don't boil or steam anything, because it makes you puke?

Nah. It just seems to be a waste of a duck. I guess that I see a boiled duck as the equivalent of a boiled steak.

Onto the main subject: had one of the ducks I bought for dinner: pretty damn good. I'll definitely go buy a few more this week and freeze them.

My teochow(潮州 Chaozhou) neighbour told me a "Salted Pickled Lemon Duck Soup" recipe before and I made it once. It was pretty good, but not my preferred way of preparing a duck. It is said to be a specialty dish of the Teochow cuisine. It increases one's appetite during the hot and steamy summer season.

Consider yourself lucky living in Toronto where you can get fresh poultry for a decent price.
