Should it be Poulet Mandarin??? Explanation: I have heard of a 'canard mandarin' (typo in original text?), which translates quite simply as a mandarin duck. This is an endangered species. Although I have not heard of a 'poulet mandarin', I wonder if there is a connection here? See link for more details of manadarin duck.

mandarin duck Explanation: Just to follow up with a bit more space than I had above. The only restaurant link I see is Louis Mandrin's and we don't need to look far to see where his poulet mandrin comes from. There is also a poulet de mandrin somewhere but the fowl you want is not going to be served for dinner. That leaves canard mandarin, an astonishing mistake if they are in fact reintroducing them into France. Sorry I don't have any more light to she d but I suspect you both have analyzed this as far as it is going to go. anything peculiar about the source text? |

peer agreement (net): +1mandarin chicken Explanation: I think it must be a misspelling. I have certainly heard of mandarin duck, so I think it must be the above. |

Mandrin chicken... Explanation: Could it be the chicken's version of Duck à l'orange??? There is a mandarine/tangerine based liqueur called Mandrin liqueur, that I am sure of...but whether "Poulet mandrin" is the name of a chicken dish using this liqueur, I'm not sure. Does "Mandrin" have a capital letter? Still it's another option to think about! Bonne chance! bilingual |
