The full description of this is Confit de Canard, Pommes de Terre Sarladaise (Pulled Duck Confit with Garlic and Parsley Potatoes)… The evening we tried this, we also had the Gnocchi Parisien and the Kronenbourg Blanc 1664.
The duck was very rich and the flavor was okay, but not as “ducky” as we prefer (it was only mildly gamey, the duck flavors weren’t even as strong as the Mapleleaf Farms duck you can buy at the supermarket)…
The roasted potatoes with garlic were quite nice. A little bit difficult to eat as they were layered in the holding container (another small round aluminum pan) and when it was all turned out, the layers were a bit difficult to cut with a plastic knife and fork.
The beer went very well with this dish, perhaps better than it did with the gnocchi.
Although this was not WOWSA, kudos to the chefs for choosing dishes that would hold well AND the two dishes, while they weren’t must-do-again, they have somewhat enticed us to eat at the France Pavilion.
