- Removed reference to this being the "only duck to use" in the Peking duck dish, I did combination searches of Pekin Duck and Peking Duck with north china, bred, history, originated - I couldn't find any support for it. See the Peking duck article, Preparation, second para for it's definition. Alf melmac 23:14, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Male Pekin's not quacking
I have a male Pekin drake at home who is able to quack. It is true that their quack's sound quite different. My experience is that drakes quack much more, but much softer than their female companions. (They are still quite audible, even from quite a distance, the difference is you'll hear the females from a few hundred metres away.) Tank 14:33, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Read your sources!!
"Tryptophan is the chemical that causes the well-known drowsiness in humans who consume turkey meat.[3]"
Except the cited source explicitly says this is a myth. I've removed the paragraph. The cite was http://www.hsibaltimore.com/ealerts/ea200211/ea20021127.html 64.132.221.211 (talk) 17:11, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
