this is the only piece of writing I can find on the subject of ducks in Hungarian culture
One clever and one silly bird: Hungarian duck and goose! Although the term “silly goose” is derogatory, in Hungary they are considered to be clever creatures, since they can feed a whole family for several days, providing such delicacies as roasts, soups, stuffed liver, and goose drippings (the latter being good both for cooking purposes and as a spread), By contrast, Hungarian chefs do not rate the duck very highly.They consider them to be “silly” creatures, since they provide too much meat for one, and not enough for two (regardless of the fact that this is the case only with young, tender birds). It is also said that the tasty liver cannot compete with the wonderful delicacies obtained from well-hung goose livers. Hungary has a centuries-old tradition of breeding geese and ducks, and especially of fattening geese, which are famed for their delicious livers. Hungary’s “goose region” in the southern part of the Great Plains reaches from Kiskunhalas in the west to Orosháza in the east.
