Well, obviously it couldnt be made with only half a sheet. ;)

Had some variations to Thanksgiving: along with the turkey, my brother roasted a duck in his barbecue... Not bad. :victory:

And instead of mashed potatoes, we had potatoes au gratin, also a nice change of pace.

And instead of my brother breaking out a bottle of wine, he opened a bottle of nigorizake that my niece bought in Japan when she was out there. :victory:

A nice alternative to the usual ham/turkey... My niece, who made the suggestion, loved it. :)

Now we're talking about cooking a goose for Christmas. :mrgreen:


The nigorizake:

It was okay, but it had to much unfiltered solids to the point that it was milky/chalky... :sweat:

We filtered it through some cheesecloth and it was much better. :)

^ Not sure who the manufacturer of was, nor did my niece: she liked the box that the nigorizake was packaged in. :beaten:

Yeah, it turned out pretty well... Nothing like that Chinese roast duck I usually see, with it swimming in its own fat on the serving plate... Most of the duck's fat melted away in the barbecuer, but it kept the meat moist and the skin crisped up rather nicely.

I suppose the same thing could've been accomplished in the oven, but there wouldn't be any smoke flavor imparted on the duck.

Yeah I totally see what you're saying, man. Duck is really rich so I can see how it can hold up on the bbq and stay moist.

Yup.

I wonder if my brother's really gonna cook a goose on Christmas day.

The BBQ duck looks yummy. I love duck when it is well made. Sometimes it can be a bit greasy.

I think Im going to try and get a goose for Christmas. I love the dark meat! :victory:

I feel the same way, but in the barbecuer, most of the fat melts away and is burned off, which in turn smokes the duck to a degree. :)

I think we're going to do that as well. :victory:
