I recall going to a Chinese restaurant with a couple from Beijing.
That was interesting.
It started with him asking What is this? and dismissing the first
delivery of food
I like the new species. Sometimes I go Boneless Chicken hunting

Subject:aromatic duck
at first I thought Aromatic was its name while still alive!
Now I find as part of 'national eating out week' in the UK:
22nd November 2012 will be the first Homage Day in praise of Crispy
Aromatic Duck, a truly British invention and one of the most popular
Chinese style
Crispy Aromatic Duck is a real British favourite. It was invented by
the Chinese community in London's Chinatown in the latter half of the
20th century and is a signature dish in many Chinese restaurants in
the West.
If you look at the food on the table of Chinese people in a Chinese
restaurant, you will notice how different the dishes are compared
those ordered by Brits who are not Chinese. Most dishes that appear on
their table are usually avoided by the Chinese and are not found in
China. Crispy Aromatic Duck is very much one of these and is the
invention of Chinese restaurateurs in Britain. It is a British
invention, mixing Peking duck with Sichuan style duck. Although it is
tasty, many Chinese people consider it dry (the duck is deep-fried)
and therefore a waste of a perfectly juicy duck.
