I can't think of anything worse to eat than a peice of wild duck that is cooked to well done. It gives it the texture of liver and makes it taste super gamey. However a peice of duck that is still bloody is really tender and has decent if not amazing flavor. Marinades and different things (such as your spaggeti method) can help to increase the quality of flavor. I think most peoples problem with duck is that they insist on overcooking it. If you can't or won't eat bloody meat then duck is not for you in my oppinion. My favorite way to cook it is to marinate it for an hour in half italian dressing half worchestershire then place a pickeled jalapeno slice and a dallop of cream cheese on it wrap it with turkey bacon and barbecue it on really high heat so the bacon gets cooked but the duck is only cooked to medium rare.
For all those people who don't like elk and deer.... They either have to be crazy or more likely they don't know crap about feild dressing them or the people they get the meat from don't know crap. My wife told me when we got married that she hated deer. Her family would only jerkey her dads deer. The first little buck I shot after we got married was gone in a month. She loves the stuff now. The only wild game she likes more is ruffs and blues and lots of people think they tast like pine tree. They only tast like pines if you don't gut them emmediatly after shooting them. They tast even better if you can pack them with a little snow or set them in a creek for a couple of minutes. It is just a matter of taking the time to learn to make it taste good and how to take care of it properly.
