It's like a perfect blend of the two. I would love having duck outside of just Chinese takeout.

usually any food thats ubiquitous is just because it's easier to farm or is receiving a subsidy to produce a large amount

duck is probably neither one of those things

It's more expensive to produce, the only thing that matters under capitalism.

Duck is waay fattier, and has a more gamier taste. And a lot more expensive. I can get chicken leg quarters for 69 to 115 cents/lb.

From my understanding most of the fat is in the breast (giggity).

Could be a law thing, cause it's technically game? Or however you call meat like venison.

ducks are generally a lot easier to raise compared to chickens. idk about on a factory farm level, but in general they're better, more consistent egg layers and less likely to get disease.

the problem is that it takes a lot more effort to process a duck (removing feathers, making sure the fatty layer is in tact. chickens dont have that fatty layer so no worries) and also ducks absolutely need a pond, lake, or pool to swim in and the water needs to be rotated/cleaned pretty often.

Humans tend to be averse to eating "cute" animals

Hence, eating chicken and turkey is okay, while eating duck is not.

hmm... I suppose I should specify that Western culture is averse to eating "cute" animals.

Sure, plenty of cultures eat lamb, but it's not a meat you'll encounter often on this side of the pond.

Turkeys, along with geese, are also among the biggest jerks of the animal kingdom.

Ducks probably take more care than chicken or cows.

100% agree. There's not much more mouth-watering that a seared duck breast with crispy skin. If you cook it right, you can render most of the fat so it's not as fatty, & you have leftover duck fat which is liquid gold.

I do like a good roast duck or peking duck but I couldn't fathom eating it as regularly as chicken or beef because of

Chicken used to taste a lot better too, but it's been bred for size over taste since around the 40s in the US.

Actually chicken breast is where there is less fat, which is how it got its reputation for being more "healthy" in the US. White meat parts of chicken like the breast have less fat while dark meat parts like legs and thigh are fattier (and tastier and more nutritious). It's similar to how egg yolks got demonized for cholesterol/fat even though it's the tastiest and most nutritious part of the egg. Even though attitudes are changing, dietary fat is still demonized in the US.

Duck is great. And its hella popular in other cultures cuisines.

its also difficult to prepare which immediately puts it at odds with the American easy-to-consume cuisine.

That actually looks good. I had it once in SLC that was a bit too rare for my liking. Could be the whole bird can't be raw thing engrained in my brain. I didn't get sick, but the texture just didn't jive with me.

A lot of Chinese restaurants will have duck on the menu, if you want a budget friendly option.
Duck is incredible, especially peking duck dishes in Chinese restaurants. Absolutely decedent

There are huge varieties of fish that range from lean to fatty (also dependent on specific cuts and time of year). It's not down to fat.

Beef is actually quite disgusting

Chicken can become disgusting easily

Pretty sure we just got a lot of cows.
