Ducks are fatty animals by default.
Ya know they kinda have to be. After all they do need something to aid in their buoyancy and such.
But this adipose tissue... There's something special about it. While I admit that it probably is just as unhealthy as say pig fat. However contrary to lard or suet duck fat MUST have some quality of umami to it.
Now I'm sure umami naturally exists as a quality of most animal products. Otherwise humans are just hardwired into loving such fatty foods.
But yeah, I added some to the potatoes I was making and they're absolutely divine.
In case you were wondering where I procured duck fat; I was roasting one this past weekend.
But yes it was quite delicious. The potatoes that is. Well the duck too.
