They are highly recommended for anyone who can understand the Spanish language. A tasty treat, duckling is also highly recommended for anyone suffering from illnesses related to low iron levels in the blood as it contains a special type of iron which is more easily absorbed into the system. If marmalade is not to your liking you could choose as alternatives any of the jams made from plums, blackberries or redcurrants.
