Peking duck- definition writing
PLAGIARIZED
Peking duck is a dish from Beijing (Peking)[1] that has been prepared since the Imperial
era. The meat is characterized by its thin, crispy skin, with authentic
versions of the dish serving mostly the skin and little meat, sliced in front
of the diners by the cook. Ducks bred especially for the dish are slaughtered after 65 days and seasoned before being roasted in a closed or hung
oven. The meat is often eaten with spring onion, cucumber and sweet bean sauce with pancakes rolled around the fillings. Sometimes
pickled radish is also inside. Crispy aromatic duck is a similar dish to Peking
duck and is popular in the United Kingdom.
Peking duck is well-known for its tasty
flavours and “thin, crispy skin”
(Wikipedia.com). It is a very popular dish in
China.
