          Vegans close your eyes:

          I really want to try duck and goose but I've never been offered it and never think to go seek it out

            duck's good especially with tart cherry or orange type sauces to cut the darker meat flavors

              That sounds good af. The only meats I really ever eat are chicken, beef and lamb just because they're available, but I would like to try different ones. There is a place in Bmore that does a 3-slider combo with exotic meats like camel, wildebeest and crocodile, I should try it sometime.

                Duck shouldn't be too hard to find, it's much fattier than chicken and way more delicious imo. At more upscale places you can pick how well done you want it, I'm not totally sure how this works health-wise, but I'm here for it.

                  The idea of medium rare poultry sounds kinda gross lol. I would definitely love to try well done dick though lol. What kind of places even serve duck? Or should I buy a duck and cook it myself?

                    It's pretty common at Chinese restaurants (Peking duck), also can be found in French cuisine (duck a l'orange, duck confit). I feel super bougie typing this out lol, but thinking back I've only seen duck on more expensive menus (not like super fancy, but more than where I would typically go).

                      Yeah duck l'orange sounds good af but idk any french restaurants, especially any that I could afford. Peking duck would probably be easier to find although most Chinese restaurants don't sell if for some reason.

    Geese are a keystone species making them important in maintaining biodiversity and healthy ecosystems. It is believed by scientists that this central role in many environments is what makes them act like such huge assholes.

      literally have never seen anyone wear Canada Goose besides chinese diaspora in Eastern Mass, like is the city of Quincy, MA singlehandedly keeping that company afloat or do you guys see those jackets in like NYC or Seattle or other places where you need a jacket in winter

    I remember these geese would always come to this field, tear it up, shit everywhere, and bite and intimidate anyone who dared get too close. Eventually I decided to just charge them head on, screaming at the top of my lungs, because fuck those feathered cunts.

      Fuck those aggressive assholes, they attack me when I’m just trying to run on the path around the lake. Like hey fuckers you have the whole park to eat grubs and shit everywhere you don’t get the path too.

      Maybe I’d feel different if they were endangered but they seem to be doing just fine chillin in our fake lakes in office parks and suburban lawns.

    Fun fact the Hawaiian state bird is the Nene which are just descendants of Canadian Geese that got lost/blown off course thousands of years ago. That’s right these geese are stupid enough to end up in the middle of the Pacific Ocean when trying to migrate. Dumb fucks
