[Sca-cooks] duck sauce?

[Stefan li Rous]

Adamantius mentioned:
<<< As a result, we had some spring rolls yesterday, and certain  
people on
the premises were actively searching for duck sauce, which we don't
normally keep on hand (we had a jar of plum sauce, which is much
heavier, and not much use as a table condiment without doing something
to it). >>>

Okay, what is "duck sauce"? Is this sauce made from duck liver or  
some part of a duck? Or is this a sauce to be served on duck?
If the latter, what is it made of, and is it Chinese or like say,  
fortune cookies, more of an American product? Why is it connected  
with duck?
