History, tradition and origin
Ducks were domesticated in China thousands of years ago, and roast duck from the capital became an imperial dish, later served in restaurants with thin pancakes. In southwest France, duck legs were preserved in their own fat to last the winter, a method called confit. Duck is a festive meat in both traditions, served at new year and family feasts.
Food economy and industry
China raises most of the world's ducks, followed by France and other parts of Europe and Southeast Asia. Birds bred for roasting reach market weight in about six weeks. Almost every part is used: meat, fat for cooking, and feathers and down for bedding and clothing, which makes duck farming unusually efficient.
