Trivia Question: Despite being named after a certain fowl, I do not contain any meat. Instead, I am a sweet and pungent combination consisting of plums, apricots, chilies, vinegar, and sugar. What am I?
Answer: Plum sauce. It gained the nickname duck sauce because it was served with Peking
Duck. Today, it is also a popular dip, and often accompanies a plate of egg rolls or
