A TASTE OF A NEW DISH

I visited a good friend of mine who is residing in another city, just few hours away from my city. I arrived in his house around 2 pm this afternoon and told me to stay for awhile because she was preparing food for dinner. My friend used to work in a cruise ship as the chef of the ship. She has been working their about 5 years before she decided to leave her work as the chef of the ship because she cannot sleep well in the ship, especially when at night. For 5 years of working as the cruise ship chef, she has studied almost all the foods around the world and she knows how to cook it.

This friend of mine was ahead batch in the culinary school. I met her when she was the guest speaker of the culinary school when I graduated in that cooking school. I personally met her when we both applied for that cruise ship that she was working. She got the chef job while I was told to just come back next month for the reservation slot in the cruise ship. Since then we treat each other special and the closeness continues, most especially when we both knew that we graduated at the same culinary school.

For tonight's dinner, she prepared duck for diner. I never tried cooking duck because this type of food is rarely ordered in my restaurant. That is why I never place it in my restaurant's menu. I also thought that ducks are dirty when cooked because of the smell that the duck meat produces. Aside from that, ducks are dirty eaters. They eat all types of things. I never expected that duck taste better than chicken. According to my friend, she got the recipe from a Turkish national. That Turkish national gave her the ingredients and procedure on how to cook ducks.

I would say that it really taste good. The meat was well done and I never tasted anything strange or bad. It was plain duck and it taste good. She made it Patotin, a tasteful dish and is widely prepared during fiestas and other monthly celebration. I just have to request for the ingredients of this dish because I like the taste of it.
