crispy duck pancakes - where to buy??

Laethia

Hiya,

Which aisles of the main supermarkets have you tried? Although I'm now vegetarian, just over a year ago sainsburys used to have half crispy duck (pre shredded) and pancakes with hoisin sauce for about £4 in the fresh refrigerated ready meals section. I bought some for OH the other day from Tesco and they had two varieties - the fresh section had half a duck with pancakes and hoisin sauce for £4.35 (reduced from £4.99) and the frozen section had the same for £4.50.

Try the frozen joint roast section, or the frozen ready meals. With all of these options you will need to buy spring onions and cucumber to go with it, and I recommend finding an extra sachet of hoisin sauce because you only get a small pot. Blue Dragon do a sachet for about 60p.

Hope you find your CD pancakes!

EDIT: Aaagh sorry! You meant just the pancakes! Yes, Chinese supermarkets are a good place to try, you can pick up a big pack of them for around the £2 mark, some I have come across smaller packs for around £1. Sorry about the misunderstanding!

Hi, does anyone know where i can buy the pancakes for crispy duck??
I have tried most of the main supermarkets, but no one seems to do them - will i have to try a chinese specialist store?
Thanks!

I've had the same problem travelturkey. What I've ended up doing is just buying them from our local chinese takeaway as and when we need them. I ususally order around 4 portions (side orders) in one go and they're always fine about it- I suppose it's still custom for them at the end of the day. It's not cheap though - I think it's £1.20 per portion (around 6 or 8 pancakes). Then again, I read that they're expensive anyway if you do manage to get them from the supermarket - lucky you if you do! :j
Hope this helps.

Saw some today in Aldi, I think £1.99 for 6.

Was in the fresh poultry section of Sainsbury's this morning and beside the duck and duck portions, there were packets of Gressingham pancakes - 14 to a pack.

Makro sell the pancakes as of course do Chinese supermarkets.

If you are really struggling buy some from your local Chinese takeaway

Saw them in morrisons yesterday in the isle with all the indian/thai paste's etc.

Although you will be better off going to a chinese supermarket and buying a frozen pack and using them as you need them, I would imagine that would be cheaper.
