We often see meat drying, it is quite common place here. Only ducks and fish though and I had a thought of why? It is for flavour? Is it left over from years ago before fridges and supermarkets?
Out with a friend yesterday and just before he arrived, we had seen more on the footpath so I asked him why it was.
It is partly flavour and a way to perserve the meat. Mainly old ways to ensure there is plenty of food available at Spring festival (Chinese new year)when family visit. We were told that it is done only in this area and we realised that we had not seen it in other parts of China.
It is common to see ducks drying alongside of clothes drying in the sun. I dont think anything to put on them just using the sun. We did have a roast duck yesterday, it was very crispy skin, very tasty.
