Stuffed

What is the difference between a stuffed duck in American and a stuffed duck in France? The stuffed duck in America is either a cute little stuffed animal toy, or some strange science project that can be found in museums. The stuffed duck in France means that food is somewhere nearby. There isn't a lot of differentiation between the food and the animal itself (I mean seriously, look at that duck dish- it might have as well died on the plate).
Anyways... so the first picture is a stuffed duck outside of a foie gras (stuffed duck liver) shop, the second is a gizzard salad (which looks disgusting, but is actually really, really good), the third is confit canard (duck cooked in its own fat), and the last picture is mousse au chocolat (need I say more). Here is another reason to go to the Dordogne Region of France - not only do you get to take a canoe ride down the river and hike an Italian sized hill, but you get to eat gizzards, ducks (that look like they have died on the plate, yet taste better than any kind of duck you will find anywhere else), and mousse au chocolat (pretty much the equivalent of heaven).
