Salsa (dance) Salsa is a popular form of social dance that originated in the Caribbean. The movements of salsa have origins in Cuban Son, cha-cha-cha, mambo and Puerto Rican bomba and plena and other dance forms. The dance, along with the salsa music, originated in the mid-1970s in New York.
The best age to butcher your ducks is at 7 to 8 weeks old. If you choose to pluck them, you will need to dunk the carcass into scalding hot water (145-150 degrees F) for about one minute. Ducks are much harder to pluck than chickens and may need to stay in the hot water longer.
Every year 38 million ducks and geese are killed in France to make foie gras, a delicacy there. At slaughter they are hung upside down, have their throats slit and are left to bleed to death. About a million birds die in the force-feeding process. Only males are used.
