Default Finally got some dog meat!

My husband has been trying to get duck meat for a week now. He has tried various shops and no-one could understand what he was asking for. One butcher thought he was asking for dog meat, and after a conversation of 'duck meat', 'what....dog meat', 'no...duck meat', 'dog?' etc he gave up and walked out.
Anyway, today I took matters into my own hands and asked a butcher for duck meat. He looked very confused until I said 'duck, as in quack quack' (actions included). He then shouted to his boss 'she wants quack quack'. Anyway, his boss went into the back of the shop and came out with frozen duck breasts. Hurray! So now I know what to do when I need 'quack quack'.

Best place to find duck is in the Chineese stores/butchers. Do you know where China town is in town? Go there

Word of warning to those with tender stomachs. Go in with half your eyes closed as they have some strange food too...I nearly barrffed up

I am glad you have told us that because I LOVE duck and I will need it when we get to Oz. I now know that I have to say quak quak and do the hand gestures so thank you for that, I will get practising.
