It used to be cooked after the meat was taken off the bird. The bones were then taken back to the kitchen and boiled with a few vegetables. Not a great deal of flavour and certainly greasy and salty.<br /><br />In Beijing the bird is almost always brought to the table where the meat will be removed and piled on a plate. Your's was clearly an upmarket establishment as the meat has very carefully been arranged on the plate. When I first visited Beijing 20yrs ago, your average state-owned duck restaurant would remove and shred the meat pretty rapidly and pile it on the plate without any finesse. You rarely see a duck brought to the table and the meat removed in Chinese restaurants in Europe.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09623364229497999469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517176272440695540.post-23405885521217208732012-02-15T02:40:00.791-08:002012-02-15T02:40:00.791-08:00Haha, some things there are just no words for, pet...Haha, some things there are just no words for, peter...Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07005759548359260915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517176272440695540.post-40789968778350315092012-02-15T02:17:27.653-08:002012-02-15T02:17:27.653-08:00Hi!
