北平烧鸭别具特色，你去北京啊，一条街走下来，什么店开的最多，肯定是烧鸭店。北平烧鸭，鸭子必须得从通州运来的，那里的鸭不老不小。老了，肉就“柴”了，小了，又没肉了。单单是鸭子，就要挑选半天，肉必须得又多又嫩，这样烧出的鸭才是最好吃的。

挑完鸭，还要“填鸭”。所谓“填”鸭，从字面意思上来理解，就是把东西填入鸭中。我去北京时，看过如何“填鸭”。首先，大厨们每天要把那肥胖的鸭一一从笼子里抓出。他们卷起袖子，一只手用力硬生生地把鸭嘴巴撑开，把一种食材蘸水后强行塞入鸭子的肚子中，速度快如闪电，鸭子连叫都来不及叫一声，食材已进入嘴中，然后再关进笼子，只是尽量给水喝。每只鸭子每天都要接受同样的“洗礼”，就这样日复一日一个月，时间到了才可以把鸭子拿去烧。

烧鸭，十分奇特。与其说烧鸭，不如说是一场行为艺术，一场精彩绝伦的表演。先将黄油毫不吝啬地倒入锅中，把肥胖的鸭拿出，像拉面似的舞几下，那鸭子瞬间胖了一圈，好似河豚。接着把鸭子放入锅中，油在片刻间把鸭包围了，那香味瞬间扑鼻而来，油“噼里啪啦”溅起，仿佛在放有香味的鞭炮，那鸭子的颜色，由红到金，几小部分开始略微发黑，不焦不香。最后把类似竹子的一种蔬菜一起放入锅中，那些菜便会立即吸附在鸭身上，像一件黄金风衣，烧出的鸭，虽然油淋淋的，但一点儿也不会腻，香喷喷。

北平烧鸭最奇特之处是什么？那就是：当有人叫店员把鸭送到自己家中时，一般的烧鸭已经冰了。可是北平烧鸭吧，虽然摸上去冰冰凉凉，但一口咬下去，一股热气传出，不知是什么缘故。也许是黄油另辟蹊翘，或是加了某种调料，外行的人谁也不知其中的奥秘。
