==Dining: 北京烤鸭 - běi jīng kǎo yā (peking duck)==
 +
[[File:Playing-Cards_ICANN46_21A.png|left|none]]
 +
Peking Duck is a duck dish from Beijing that has been prepared since the imperial era. It is now considered the national dish of China, and has a rich history that has spanned across many dynasties. By the mid-20th century, it had garnered international attention and favor as a culinary dish.
 +
 +
For the dish, ducks are raised for 65 days, with 45 days spent in a free-range environment and the remaining spent in an environment where they are force-fed four times a day. Prior to cooking, they are plucked, rinsed, and pumped with air to separate their skin from their fat. The ducks are then soaked in boiling water and hung up to dry. While hung, they are glazed with a layer of maltose syrup, and are later roasted for 24 hours until their skins turn shiny brown.
 +
 +
* .duck is a Brand TLD proposed by Johnson Shareholdings.
