I have a very humorous story relating to duck sauce. My mother was always a very basic cook. I don't think that she ever tasted balsamic vinegar, capers or mangos in her life. I know that she never tasted duck sauce. I hadn't either until I met my husband who introduced me to it one day when we were having a tasty stir fry. It's quite delicious - a mix of sweet and sour that goes exceptionally well with Asian food. When we suggested to my mother that she purchase a jar of sweet and sour sauce, she look horrified and told my husband and me in a very stern voice, "I'm not eating any sauce that contains duck." We tried to convince her several times that there wasn't a bit of duck in the Duck Sauce but she refused to believe us. I even took a jar to her home on a visit but still, she was not to be convinced. After all, the label clearly stated, "Duck Sauce" and she wasted no time in pointing this out to me. Besides, mother is never wrong, right?
