   Preparation Time: 3:30
   
   STEP ONE: To Make the Stock-- In large pot combine ducks, 2 stalks celery,
   one small onion (sliced), diced carrots, salt, and gallon water. Bring to a
   boil and simmer for 3 hours, from time to time skimming off the foam.
   
   STEP TWO: To Make the Gumbo-- Make the roux of flour and vegetable oil
   until dark and brown. Add the bell peppers, red and black pepper, celery,
   and onions. Remove the ducks from the stock and reduce the broth to 2-1/2
   quarts. Strain and pour over the roux. Simmer the gumbo for 20 minutes.
   
   Remove all the meat from the bones, dice in 1/2-inch squares, and add to
   the gumbo. Broil the sausage, slice, and also add to the soup. Add the
   oysters and scallions at last and bring to a boil.
   
   Serve over rice with Tabasco sauce as needed.
