I seriously doubt that Chinese Americans would serve cat as a duck
sub. It would not be practical. Those of us who love Chinese takeout
duck would notice, and they'd get closed down. They aren't stupid,
and don't assume that their customers are stupid. In NYC, customers
are probably even more savvy about ethnic foods than they are in the
U.S. Midwest. Methinks that your "guy" is a liar.
