That ban orders that all ovens should carry on a CE (Conformité Européenne) mark, meaning the equipment meets safety standards on carbon-monoxide emissions laid down by Brussels. It is said that about ten restaurants in London have been affected. A council spokesman said: 'If the restaurants want to continue cooking ducks in the traditional manner they will need to get new ovens which will comply with EU standards by having CE marking.'

Well, I don't like Beijing roast duck because they are too oily. A report said that Quan Qude (a famous restaurant in Beijing) once decided to use electric oven to make roast duck. Finally, they gave up their idea. Why? Many people objected because they thought that the roast duck made in electric oven were not as good as that made in the traditional oven. Some even said that those roast duck made in electric oven shouldn't be called Beijing Roast duck.

Thus, I am afraid if the same thing will happen in GB.

There was a similar issue in Australia too (well in NSW, but probably the other states too). The health regulations say that once cooked food must either be stored below 4C or above 70C, so allowing it to hang in the traditional way is not permitted. Persoanally I can't see the problem if it is sold within a few hours. Anyway we go over the top with hygene in the west so that we end up with little protection in our guts. I often had stomach upsets when i first came to China, but now I have very few.
