Christmas Duck

This is a shot of my Dad's Duck which I think he has his eye on for Christmas Day

I converted to B&W and then History Brushed his Beek, dropped the levels a bit then threw in a bit of Omni Light which really made her feathers come to life.

The only thing i'm not happy about is a bit of blur on the beek area.

Otherwise i'm happy, more happy than she will be around Chrissy time

Oh Mic - tell your dad that duck is really bad for your cholesterol levels, and he has to have vegetarian duck for Christmas (it's made out of tofu) and she can come and live with me And not for me to eat by the way - ducks make great pets, and great 'watch dogs'

Rel, I don't really want this to decline into an off-topic debate, after all, it is about an image of a duck, but...

While any animal fat contains its fair share of cholesterol, this doesn't have any direct bearing on our blood cholesterol levels. We, in fact, are not dependent on the intake of the stuff but make it ourselves. In this vein (no pun intended!), did you know that (pigs) lard is good at lowering the cholesterol level, simply because it consists to over 50% of mono-unsaturated fatty acids, which perform this miraculous feat?

I guess it also depends to a degree on what we've evolved to eat. I know, for example, that my neanderthal/arian/viking metabolism is far less tolerant to carbohydrates than, say, that of many of my asian contemporaries. I just have to look at a bowl of white rice and put on a pound...

In short, ducks as we know them today, are meant for eating, especially around the festive season. And Mic's sample looks like a pretty good one...

Cheers

You guys

I post an image, a fowl image and get the low down on Vikings, Arians & Cholesterol.

Sometimes you got to wonder

Swap (invert ) the colours between the red and the white,so it is a red duck with white around the eye, can be more like SANTA, and more Christmas-sy!

Some red wine mixed through the stuffing will give a great flavour. Great on a rotisserie

I too was under a similar impression that dietary cholesterol could only influence blood cholesterol levels by 10% or so... Some people just have bad cholesterol making genes...

Thanks for all the Fowl comments dudes.
