When I was in England, I went to dinner with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_magician and Kathy and Leo Sands. The first dish we had brought to our table was some kind of shredded, skinless duck with side dishes of hoisin sauce, shredded green onions and cucumber strips, and steamed moo shu-style pancakes. It was delicious.
So...does anyone have any idea what this dish is called? Kathy saidladyat could smell it from a mile away and also adores it. I want to order it from somewhere, but I don't remember what it's called!!!

As I said, Mom used to make this. Part of my childhood involved not knicking over the upright duck in the refrigerator.
