There is a hiercarchy to the preparation of the duck / goose. First the foie gras is taken. Then the breast is taken, the 'magret'. Thirdly the legs and sometimes the wings are taken to make confit, and finally what's left goes into rillette or pate. This is in order of value. Does that make sense? Thanks for asking.

However, my years are telling on me - I cannot remember the French name for the upper half of the duck prepared in teh same manner. Can you please help me out?
