Talk:Duck sauce

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is this really called duck sauce? Surely duck sauce should have duck in it? Deb 18:06, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Why? Barbecue sauce doesn't contain barbecue.Apofisu 03:16, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regional

Duck sauce seems to be regional as well. Some places used peaches and apricots, others use plums and apricots. Color also seems to vary, from pink to yellow.

Also, what is the etymology behind "duck sauce" ?

[edit] Revert

I reverted this to a redirect to plum sauce, since someone had written that duck sauce was made of ducks, which doesn't seem to be borne out by other info.

[edit] Merge with Plum sauce

This article should be merged. They're both two different names for the same sauce. --Db099221 04:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I beg to differ, sir

I answered the etymology question, at least a bit. And it should not be merged with duck sauce, seeing that everyone is asking about duck sauce specifically as it seems to be a more common name. Even on the plum sauce page there is a discussion about why it's called duck sauce. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.191.223.69 (talk)

There's no reason we can't redirect the one article to the other after we merge. --Sopoforic 23:26, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
