Male Mallard measures up to his massive French cousin

To quote Mrs Beeton, 1861: "The Rouen, or Rhone duck, is a large and handsome variety, of French extraction. The plumage of the Rouen duck is somewhat sombre; its flesh is also much darker, and, though of higher flavour, not near so delicate as that of our own Aylesbury".
