Was it Ms  Beaton who said "First catch your duck."?



No.
 
Hannah Glasse in her book "The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy"  (written 
in 1747 - 114 years before Mrs Beeton's 'Book of Household  Management') was 
the first one to say this. 
 
And it was about hares - but I'll accept a  variation.     :-)
