So good I want to do it again

[Sounds like the subject of a SPAM message, doesn't it?]

When I was in England, I went to dinner with 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 said ladyat 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!!!

Crispy Aromatic Duck (the adjectives are sometimes swapped or one missed out). Someone American commented the other week that they had made it at home, they got the spices in the US so it's certainly known there, I unremember who it was though...

In the UK it is served in almost every Chinese restaurant I have seen, and by many of the takeaway places as well.

There are several recipes on the net (see Google), the closest I've seen is Peter May's.

Actually, I am pretty sure it is only known in the US by people who've been to the uk.

Bill and Brenda both complain about being unable to get it there when they're here... or there, if they feel the need to, actually...

But it is crispy aromatic duck...

That sounds right, and it was wonderful.
