MY SAY: Of Peking duck and the burqa.
The Edge.
Abstract
There will be one favourite delicacy less in Britain soon — the Peking duck! This follows a recent announcement
that the dish will be banned throughout the UK. The action was reportedly taken as a result of a European
Union (EU) ban on the ovens — a 6fthigh
drumshaped
device — traditionally used to prepare it. Said to be
larger than a conventional commercial oven, it can roast up to 24 ducks at a time. It is heated by a central
burner placed at the base which forced the air up between the skin and the meat, roasting them in the
process.
Hardest hit was Chinatown where apparently many ovens were sealed because they did not carry a CE
(Comformite Europeenne, or European Compliance) mark; therefore, they did not meet the stipulated safety
standards on carbonmonoxide
emissions as laid down by Brussels.
