Is this really called duck sauce? Surely duck sauce should have duck in it? Deb 18:06, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
Duck sauce seems to be regional as well. Some places used peaches and apricots, others use plums and apricots. Color also seems to vary, from pink to yellow.
Also, what is the etymology behind "duck sauce" ?
I reverted this to a redirect to plum sauce, since someone had written that duck sauce was made of ducks, which doesn't seem to be borne out by other info.
This article should be merged. They're both two different names for the same sauce. -- Db099221 04:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Since there hasn't been any further objection, I'm going to merge the Plum sauce article into this one. Plum sauce doesn't contain any info that's not in this article (actually, I think they are exactly the same), so I'm going just going to clear Plum sauce and make the redirect. -- Sopoforic 21:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
I answered the etymology question, at least a bit. And it should not be merged with duck sauce, seeing that everyone is asking about duck sauce specifically as it seems to be a more common name. Even on the plum sauce page there is a discussion about why it's called duck sauce. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.191.223.69 ( talk)
A "more common name"?!?! It's only bloody Americans who use this name! And not all of them! In Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, we call it "plum sauce". Pure and simple! Why do Americans insist on making up stupid names for stuff? Morandir ( talk) 04:35, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
I have tried "Duck Sauce" and to me it tastes like French ranch but lighter in flavor and texture colour. MKandMCrCool ( talk) 22:48, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
Where I'm from (northeastern US), plum sauce is used to refer to Hoisin sauce, not duck sauce. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.140.171.5 ( talk) 19:57, 17 April 2007 (UTC).
Smithsonian Magazine did an article recently about the history of "duck sauce" and its numerous regional varieties/labels; it might be a useful source for this article. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! ( talk) 17:21, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
