So now I am completely confused. Are you saying that the Pekin duck breed in North America differs from the Pekin duck breed in China?

They originated in China. The American version sometimes referred to as Long Island is the line of breediing we did here. Europe took a different breeding program path so not identical. But all China originated. The Pekin/Peking similarity between breed and dish confuses some. They are big fat brilliant white ducks and the males particularly attractive with their tail curl. It is the common breed I find here for meat.

Yes Pekin were brought to Long Islad so combining names makes sense.
