I thought it was mashed potatoes.

The chicken itself is probably fine. It would taste like any sauced chicken you get at an American Chinese restaurant.
That rice was heinous though.

That rice could probably have been cooked for another hour or two. I mean, I’m sure that you can still see the individual grains.

Yeah, I did not expect the rice to be the part that made me the most sad.

Duck a’laronge is fine. The acidic drink might even have worked as a marinade. We have coq au vin as well.
One time I made chicken with pears and pear cider. It worked well.
I think this dish is better than it’s made out to be.
Fuck that rice though

It’s made with ~11 cubes of sugar for a single portion. She just made awful rice with candy.

Look again. It is fanta zero. British food at its finest. Be happy she did not boil the rice in fanta

You won’t belive how much sugar is in fruit
health.clevelandclinic.org/fruits-high-in-sugar
The internet says one sugar cube is 4 grams. Let’s be kind to me and round down the cubes of sugar to 10 and round up the sugar in the orange to 20.
Basically, if you made duck a la orange with 2 oranges, you’d be using the same amount of sugar.
It’s not that divorced from the reality of the situation expected in kitchens.

The sugar in fruit is fructose and is healthy, compared to refined sugars.
