A favourite dish in Singapore is chicken rice, and duck rice. 

Arkasas also has rice. Stuttgart is the duck and rice capital with companied like Riceland, not to be confused with Iceland.

You can call with your own voice, which is rare. Usually you have a duck calling barrel, with inserted reeds.
