How is galantine of duck made?

The recipe in Stor kokebok (1914, p. 273) is short: the duck is prepared the same way as galantine of goose, which is described on page 266. So you follow the goose recipe, but use duck.

Why does the dish take so long (about 15 hours)?

The long time is because a galantine is not just simmered – it must also be cooled and pressed before it is sliced and served cold. The actual work of boning, forcemeat and simmering makes up only part of the time.

How many does the recipe serve?

It is intended for about 6 servings, served as a cold dish in slices.
