Pekin Duck: Don't Confuse It With Peking Duck (yumsugar?format=xml)
Peking duck, pekin duck . . . goose! Only one letter separates a "Pekin duck"
from a "Peking duck," so the terms are often used interchangeably. But one
paltry letter can be a big poultry difference; these words are both
descriptors of ducks, but they're definitely not the same!
A Pekin duck is a breed of duck. Also known as a Long Island duck, this
domesticated descendant of the Mallard has a yellow bill, white plumage, and
orange webs and is the most popular commercial duck breed in America, where
they're raised primarily for egg and meat production.
Peking duck is a famous roast duck dish that comes from China. Arguably
China's national food, this imperial dish is made by roasting a duck until the
skin is deep brown and crisp, then carving the skin to serve alongside steamed
pancakes, julienned scallions, and hoisin sauce. The dish hails from Beijing,
the country's capital, which was formerly known as Peking.
Peking duck originated in Nanjing, and the first ducks used to prepare the
dish were small birds with dark feathers. Incidentally, these days, most
Peking ducks are prepared using Pekin duck. How's that for irony?
