George Seek's Duck Rumaki, page 60

This is the ultimate guy food. It involves hunting, fire, wooden sticks . . . even bacon, for goodness sakes. First, hunt the duck. Then soak daylights out of the stips of meat in soy sauce and teriaki. Then, wrap the duck around a water chestnut, a strip of bacon around that, and spear a couple times with a toothpick. Add fire, and via la, you've got a tasty snack. And, let me tall you, fellas, compliments to the chef on these tasty babies. You know how to cook a game bird. This is an often used recipe to cook duck and a fine way to get the job done. When I told our friend we'd be having duck at dinner, she said it had been years since she'd had duck and was looking forward to juicy, rich meat.  Whoa, we are not talking about the same duck here. Finnie was thinking of domestic duck, the duck I think of hanging in Chinese meat markets. As I said in an earlier post, wild duck is vastly different with a dark, livery taste. Soy sauce and bacon are a great way to help the meat along. So, thanks, boys, for the excellent recipe.

Next time, replace the water chestnut with a slice of jalapeno. Mmmmmmm...
