Locally, duck is cheaper than beef.
Boneless imported Australian leg of lamb is absolutely delicious and comparably priced to fucking hamburger.
It's insane. And yes I'm also mostly eating chicken, but my partner grows more discontented with the fowl every day no matter how many different ways I prepare it. I found a bizarre cut of beef at a Chinese grocer for $4.80 a pound which I turn into braised beef dishes.
Truly a bizarre time for cuisine.
The going rare for duck was about $19 per bird. Figure that an average weight of a meat and that half of it will be bond and it probably does work out slightly cheaper than beef. And you can make stock out of all those bones.
I raised a batch of meat ducks a few years ago. Worked out to about $13 per duck after figuring in feed. But the cost of ducklings has almost doubled since then so today the cost would be about $19 not including labour.
Once we can put together $120 we are going to get some Muscovy and see if we can get some meat production here. Muscovy is the closest to red meat you can get from a yard bird and they are known for going broody, unlike pekins. This will help decrease dependency on an incubator.
Great insight. Thank you!
Noticed this when we were at Sam's Club last week. Freaking crazy.
Yah dude, buck wild. Doing one of those guys up with a ras el hanout and pomegranate gremolata for Pesach and I'm really looking forward to it. Did the same thing last year and it came out great.
