        Grind up the meats (except the duck) and toss in
   a bowl with salt, pepper, allspice, and 2 teaspoons
   thyme, flour, eggs, and brandy.
   
        Pack half of the mixture into the lined terrine.
   
        Add the duck breasts and fat strips, then cover
   with the remaining forcemeat.
   
        Cover the contents of the terrine with foil and a
   good lid (to weight it down and keep the filling from
   puffing up and running over the side) and bake in a
   larger pan filled with water to half the depth of the
   terrine.
   
        Bake at 280 F for 2 to 3 hours or until the
   juices are clear.
   
        Remove lid and cool.
