That night we had the famous Bejing Roast Duck for dinner. This little lady was dressed to meet us at the door. The roast duck was sliced very thin and the we each had a dish with a sauce and cut up green onions. We were given very thin tortilla-like pieces in which you put duck meat, sauce and the onion and some celery. It was lots of work and very tasty. We know why Chinese people aren't heavy. You have to pick it up with chopsticks, it is mostly vegetables with little bits of meat, there are no desserts- just fresh fruit and little sugar (but lots of oil).
