Thinking of ducks and food, I suddenly remembered this Chinese restaurant "Good Friends" on Berlin's Kantstraße, which always had Peking ducks in the window.
When I was a kid, it always gave me a creepy fascination, seeing them, when we walked by.
One day, my Grandparents told me that this had been one of the very few restaurants in the years after the war and during the blockade, where you could eat without coupons.

It was there, where they discovered their love for Chinese food, which stayed alive until the very end.
Luckily for them, and a few other people at the time, most Germans in the 40s, even those, who were lucky enough to be able to afford it, were very suspicious with "foreign" food, so it was actually possible for them to have dinner there, once a month, when the paycheck arrived.

Danke.
