Duck Sauce

Let me first preface this post with the disclosure that this article is being written by someone who once thought that Girl Scout cookies were made with real Girl Scouts.

But, I really don’t think that Duck sauce is made with real Ducks.  That would be cruel.  So, why a duck?

I did some research and found that the following are some of the ingredients in Duck sauce:

• Plums
• Apricots
• Pineapples
• Peaches
• Sugar
• Vinegar
• Ginger
• Chili Peppers

My first (ok, you’re right, it’s my second) observation is that there are no chemicals in the list of ingredients (I better double check my source!).  Secondly (right, it was firstly — if that is even a word), where IS the duck?  No duck!  So, why a duck?

Hmm… I just found this picture.  I think I found the chemicals.  But still…

I must ask… Where’s the duck?  So…. Why a duck?

Can you tell me?
