i was at 1u walking past the japanese buffet restaurant called Shogun. Outside there was this board displaying some kind of dish called sulphur duck. Now see the part of a article taken from wikipedia(see the Bold words in the bracket.)
'Sulfur or sulphur (pronounced /ˈsʌlfɚ/, see spelling below) is the chemical element that has the atomic number 16. It is denoted with the symbol S. It is an abundant multivalent non-metal. Sulfur, in its native form, is a yellow crystalline solid. In nature, it can be found as the pure element and as sulfide and sulfate minerals. It is an essential element for life and is found in two amino acids, cysteine and methionine. (Its commercial uses are primarily in fertilizers, but it is also widely used in gunpowder, matches, insecticides and fungicides.) Elemental sulfur crystals are commonly sought after by mineral collectors for their brightly colored polyhedron shapes. In nonscientific context it can also be referred to as brimstone.
