Kaifeng Four-treasure (开封套四宝, Kaifeng Tao Si Bao) is a traditional poultry dish in the ancient city. It gathers four excellent flavors, i.e. chicken, duck, pigeon and quail. The making of the great dish is very interesting that it is "animal inside animal", to which the biggest one, the duck is in outside, the smallest, that is, the quail, the most inside one. The belly of the quail is stuffed with herbs and vegetables. The technique of the chef is demanding, he must remove all the bones of the animal and put another, the smaller one, without bone, too, into its belly. Even legs are inside legs!!! When serving, you will see the whole duck first; it is so smooth with strong fragrance. After you ate the duck, a whole chicken appears. A pigeon will be seen after chicken, and the quail, finally you will taste the vegetables in the quail's belly.
