I haven't eaten it in a long while. I did get served duck's feet in a dim sum restaurant and didn't really know how to eat them. I have never eaten duck's tongue. Beef and lamb tongue, but not duck.<BR/><BR/>It will always be Peking Duck to me.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-5328067016013981612008-08-13T09:31:00.000-04:002008-08-13T09:31:00.000-04:00Jo -- Peking Duck used to be a delicacy in Paris' ...Jo -- Peking Duck used to be a delicacy in Paris' Chinese restaurants. Some restaurants actually insisted on a 72-hour even a 4-day advance notification so that they could prepare and cook the dish. The story was that in China *everything* of the duck was used, even the feet.<BR/><BR/>This bring the dish "Duck's Tongue" to mind. Have you ever eaten them? They are really delicious, but they are not on each and every Chinese restaurant's menu these days.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I noticed you still said *Peking* Duck instead of *Beijing* Duck.<BR/>MarilynMarilyn Z.

It's so embarassing when the quiet little dog you're walking with suddenly turns a second Hound of the Baskervilles without warning and launches itself at some innocent passer-by, trailing you along behind at the other end of the leash. (Satima is chicken-sitting at the moment, I think ... I wonder how that compares?)hrugaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621922879300266376noreply@blogger.com
