| | Out and About: The Peking Duck House - Diner’s Journal - Dining & Wine - New York Times Blog |
 | | What makes Peking Duck such a “high-end” dish is, not only the way in which the duck is prepared (fluffing up the bird and all), but also the skill required in slicing the skin cleanly (sans meat) from the duck. |
 | | When my husband and I first moved to NYC and had Peking duck for the first time at Funky Broome, we were surprised to receive just one course, the skin and a thick slice of meat, wrapped with the hoisin sauce in the pancake. |
 | | True Peking duck indeed consists of three courses–thin crisp skin wrapped in a great pancake with hoisin sauce, scallion and cucumber slivers; succulent duck meat in a dish (often duck and beansprouts); and finally a delicious soup (supposedly prepared from the bones of your own duck!!!????!!!). |
