Question 1

Can I eat this without cooking e.g. with salad?

Accepted Answer

its duck legs preserved in duck fat. you'd be mad to eat it straight out of the tin!
it is cooked so you wouldn't poison yourself but follow my instructions for a stunning salad..... 
warm the tin a bit to liquify the fat unless you like squelching your hands in fat.
open tin with stout opener and put duck on grill tray over a foil lined grill pan to drain the liquid fat from the cuisses. pour the rest of the warm fat into tubs and freeze/refridgerate. DO NOT BIN OR OUR AWAY!

for a salad, one cuisse between 2 is probably ok, but i'd have one each!
warm through at 180 deg for 15 mins then
grill very carefully ?2 mins - not directly under the grill, prob a shelf down, and don't burn the skin. you can gently crisp the skin in a pan too.
scoff with chips or roast king edwards and salad or green beans or sit on a bed of lentils/cabbage. 
for salad, allow to cool and break up - this is very easy it crumbles in your hand or with the back of a fork. a vinaigrette on the leaves is nice, as are cornichons/capers

left over cuisses keep a few days in the fridge. the xs fat will do 2 shop tubs of duck fat from a shop = 5-6£ fat in a tin of these

then take some atorvastatin and wash down with a decent claret. huge favourite we do for the kids birthdays, usually better than a restaurant despite no prep, partly because they can't cook roast potatoes properly (par boil king eds 5 mins, toss to fluff in colander, duck fat, salt, done)

hope this helps!
