Czarnina -- Polish Duck Soup

Your nutritional assessment of the czarnina recipe may be correct, but I question it's accuracy. An 8-oz bowl extrapolated from your figures would contain 742 calories and 42 g of total fat, and be rated at over 17 Weight Watcher points. I cannot help but wonder if you took into account the weight of the water, which would have been considerable and, if included, would have decreased nutritional values per unit weight. Also how did you determine values for the blood that was used? If water had, indeed, been factored in then this dish is truly a dieters nightmare!
