Peking duck for dinner.......oh no!

You know how Mr Jeremy Fisher signed on for this adventure because he was sick of eating roast grasshoppers and punting on the pond to catch minnows for dinner; we’ll guess what, we have touched down in Beijing and Jeremy was out and about jumping along. Much to his consternation and dismay all he saw on offer on   the tiny side walk food carts was roasted insects. Grasshoppers and a variety of insects including something that reminded him of a wasp. These tasty morsels were cooked on an open grill and threaded on skewers so the locals and the tourists could have a quick munch or new food experience as they wandered through the back streets of beautiful Beijing.

 Imagine his horror when all he wanted to experience was some culinary delights unlike his normal diet and with the sole intention of fattening up his spindly frog’s legs.

 Then that young, devil Benjamin Bunny taunts”hey Jeremy you better watch out because juicy frogs legs are a delicacy in France and that’s we’re heading” Croak, croak! That horrible, deep, pit tummy sensation hit Jeremy like a log on the pond.

Then things get even worse. The team headed out to a restaurant and ate Peking duck. Benjamin, Peter and Jeremy were horrified as the chef carved up the duck and served it with a fine pancake and tasty sauce. They were thankful that their dear friend Jemima Puddle duck wasn’t with them to witness this carnage.

Poor Mr Jeremy Fisher is wracked with second thoughts about the merits of joining this adventure. And even cocky little Benjamin Bunny is losing his nerve after Jeremy told him tasty bunnies sometimes end up in a cassoulet in the Loire valley.

 What can we do to restore Mr Jeremy Fisher’s confidence and quite dignity and Benjamin’s feisty spirit?
