My youngest was getting grossed out as she watched me pull stuff out of the bird before throwing it into the oven. Honestly, at that age, I had felt the same way several times when I'd watch my mom prepare turkey for Thanksgiving. Ditto the first time I actually did it, but imagining myself having done it many times by watching my mom helped.
The thing with it being duck is a very different story. I had a beloved pet duck while growing up that was given to me as a birthday present by a friend. Unfortunately, we could only keep him for a few months because we were zoned residential..., and had to bring him to a farm... . :-( My great aunt and parents had tricked me into tasting "kacsa" (Hungarian), but in Switzerland, I bravely ordered "caneton" (French) to try it.
Yup, I did that with escargot, too, in a soup while in the Bahamas. Kind of rubbery, but not bad. Still, I had to keep the word "snail" out of my thoughts while eating it! Motivation: I had kinda regretted not trying turtle soup when our neighbors made it and invited anyone who wanted to try this possibly once-in-a-lifetime entree. Hey, I'm not gonna fix either of those for supper!!! :-P
Oh, and rabbit--the day I made it for the first time (while on my first detox) was a few days after watching a bunch of crows raid, kill, and devour a nest full of newborn baby bunnies, which made me positively sick. I had witnessed the parents build their nest by the side of the house, and watched a couple younger rabbits leaping around as the dad gingerly checked on the mom either while or after the babies were born.
I hope this isn't grossing anyone else out! This kind of talk always makes me want to consider becoming a vegetarian!!!

Water: 12345? I feel parched, but I often am in the winter--in a different way than in the summer--probably 'cuz the house gets dry with the heat on. :-P
Activity: Baking and cleaning??? :-P
