Since the 2000s, Wuhan spicy duck neck has become a national phenomenon in China after the "Juewei" brand became popular across the country. But this dish has deep roots in Wuhan food culture, originating in the Hankou district where it was sold as street food. This complex spice blend typically contains a dozen ingredients, and each store protects its exact recipe as a trade secret. In Wuhan, eating duck neck is a social event - friends gather together to eat duck neck while drinking beer, using skilled fingers to peel the meat off the bone.
