When I was growing up, Beijing used to be known as Peking.
Peking duck is a roasted duck, Slivers of thinly slice duck breast meat is skillfully cut and eaten in a little wrap with strips of cucumber and spring onion. I find this a wasteful way of eating duck. I like to gnaw on the bones.
This was taken in Singapore. The restaurant was called fortunate. I told my host, no wonder they make a fortune. They charge you for a whole duck, and give you a few slivers.

I love Peking duck too,I ate it for the first time in Chinatown in London and I don't know why they changed the name of the city !
Peking Duck is such a tasty dish. You made me hungry just thinking about it. Great post. Like your last statement about charging for the whole duck and just getting slivers. (:0)
You have solved the mystery of Peking and Beijing for me!!! I couldn't figue out if they were two different places or had changed names or what. I have heard that Peking duck takes days to make and is almost impossible to do at home.
How nice that Beijing is known as Peking before. I never tasted duck meat yet. Would love you to visit my ABC Wednesday page here.
Hi Ann!! Your post today makes me hungry!!
Thank you so much for visiting with me yesterday, I'm trying now to play catchup and stop by with a smile and a big Texas "Howdy" for you. Your comment made my day. By the way, the 'white stuff' you asked about was just the sunlight on the ocean...and whitecap waves.
Here's My Thursday Post...Sting's Fields of Gold Have a wonderful day.
It has been years since I roasted a duck. I don't think I would be satisfied with a little sliver.
