Peking Duck

Peking Duck is King: Royal Lineage

There aren’t many dishes that can claim a royal lineage going back more than 700 years. 

Peking duck can claim Royal Lineage. 

Peking Duck had its beginnings in the Yuan Dynasty (1271 to 1368), a time when the Mongol Emperors ruled China.

By the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), Peking duck was a well established dish and wasn’t just reserved for royalty. 

In 1416, a restaurant in Beijing, Bian Yi Fang, began serving Peking duck and continues to do so today

                                                         

According to the official website of Beijing, the dish is known variously as Peking duck, Beijing duck or simply Chinese roast duck, among other names.
