Duck inflated between skin and flesh, glazed with maltose, air-dried and roasted over fruitwood, then carved into skin and meat at the table.

What to look for

Know it when you find it.

The first offering is crisp skin dipped in white sugar, before any pancake. Count the slices — a proper carve yields well over a hundred, each with skin attached.
