[Sca-cooks] duck sauce?

>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?

But fortune cookies *are* an American product.

Duck sauce seems to be American too, and is the orange colored sweet and sour sauce which Chinese restaurants serve.  No duck parts involved.
