These duck kegs are consistently good, not overly fatty. Cooked in a very hot oven initially to crisp up the skin and well seasoned with cayenne pepper as well as pepper and salt, then slow cook until the flesh drops off the bone - delicious paired with stir-fry vegetables and noodles and hoi-sin stir fry sauce. Yum!
One niggle: I’ve noticed that when I bought these as part of a 3 for 2 in June each pack weighed 462g (which shows on the current Ocado photo) but the ones delivered the other day (also 3 for 2) are marked as weighing 440g. So a stealth reduction by Gressingham and Ocado needs to change its photograph before Trades Descriptions gets in on the act.
Smelled absolutely disgusting, like completely gone off meat days before the best by date. It has totally put me off duck. Will never purchase duck from this brand again
These are lovely duck legs and very tasty. They are easy to cook only needing the oven and the meat is very succulent. I have ordered again as we liked them so much.
A lot of comments on here about the smell. The ones I received had a slight sulphurous smell on opening the packet, but this dissipated after a few minutes and is totally normal. I can confirm that they were delicious when cooked!
If you find the smell off-putting, it is perhaps worth unpacking them when they arrive, letting them air out and then putting them in a Tupperware in the fridge until youre ready to use them.
