Very rare to get duck breast at this price anywhere. It works out about $3.70 per average breast piece. And it's all meat with no hassles deboning a whole duck etc. In store photo

Previously posted in early December but since expired. Can't believe I didn't see that one. Can't unexpire it as Kirks no longer available.

Here's my recipe for a nice reduction sauce, which also goes extremely well with pork belly:
1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup red wine vinegar, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 star anise. Reduce slightly, add cup chicken stock, reduce, add peel from 1 orange, with the juice from the same, further reduce and ENJOY.

      Cheers, you can't muck the recipe up, bit more or less sugar, less or more rwv will work….and then add some salt and pepper to taste as well.

      If you prefer stickier best prepared earlier and cooled……or reduce more while cooking, 5+ minutes each reduction.
      I'm drooling myself now…been a week since I made some.

      • clandestino on 12/01/2017 - 20:22

          Panzanella
          Sliced red onion, chunked ripe tomatoes, same size plums, toasted torn baguette, capers, red wine vinegar, olive oil salt and pepper.

  • sal78 on 12/01/2017 - 22:43

    a whole roast duck is only $26 to $28 any day from Chinese roast shop 😀 Get roast pork too whilst you are there. Yum

    • Bargaingeek on 12/01/2017 - 23:49

      Yes you are right about this, might be cheaper to get Chinese roast duck

      However Chinese joints use imported Chinese ducks which are toxic fed ducks and they are beaten up to death as per Chinese tradition.

      This duck is Ozzie duck which is better quality and humanely killed

          @StewBalls: just a lol at the assumption between and Aussie duck being killed "humanely" vs a chinese duck being killed non "humanely"
          At the end of the day I'm sure the duck wasn't feeling to good about the whole idea here or there, but for the Luv of Duck breasts i'm ok with it in either place of the world.

          @ozy: Honestly, there probably is a tangible difference in the end stage treatment of the animals; however, I take your point on the end result, either way it's not looking good for Daffy or Donald here!

          FWIW, I was also going to suggest honourably killed…but I thought that might come across as facetious! ;)

          Well you have a point, because ducks ain't humans.

          Maybe they were duckinly killed.

      • sal78 on 13/01/2017 - 08:06

        😂 Still yummy. I can't believe 500 gram is normally $38. I never considered duck expensive as we ate it all the time. even at sunnybank you can get whole ducked cooked 2 ways for $38 two dishes 1) peking duck pancakes and 2) fried noodles with duck or duck congee. There's duck overload lol

      This deal is for duck breast…all meat.

      There's stuff-all meat in a whole roast duck; tasty or not, you're comparing apples & oranges.

      • sal78 on 13/01/2017 - 16:39

        There's enough meat for a large family. But for Chinese ppl that's only one of a variety of dishes. Yummy and it's nicer than just breast meat. I love Legs! yum best part

        I'm just saying that Duck is cheap all year around.

        • StewBalls on 13/01/2017 - 16:59

          I know what you're saying, but you're wrong…duck meat is not cheap all year round.

          Using your model you're paying over $50 per kg of actual meat…that's actually pretty dumb in comparison to this deal when you think about it rationally without the cognitive distortions of drumsticks & Chinese families.

        • melbsparky6 on 13/01/2017 - 19:13

          @StewBalls: u can't compare confit duck legs with even the best duck breast

        • StewBalls on 13/01/2017 - 19:19

          @Ashraph6: That's entirely the point…you can't compare utterly different cuts of poultry in this context…period.

          Don't get me wrong, I love roast duck…I quite literally finished the last of one yesterday & just ate the last of the roast pork I got from Emperor's Garden a few days ago…but comparing the purchase of that to discrete breast meat is indescribably specious.

    As a father of a little girl, the following song comes into my head:

    "5 little ducks went out one day, over the hill and far away, mother duck went quack, quack, quack, but only 4 little ducks came back…"

    Little did mother duck know there was a Coles supermarket over the hill.

      • team teri on 13/01/2017 - 19:00

        No, I talked to the guy who runs the meat department at my local Coles here in WA. He said he tried to order some in for Christmas but head office refused to ship any over the Nullarbor. Supposedly they can't guarantee freshness.

        That's a bit weird seeing that they actually sell whole ducks (fresh, not frozen) from the same company. How can transporting a whole duck be less of a problem than just a breast?

      • ultrawires on 13/01/2017 - 22:04
