舌尖美食文化

Tea time in Britain means more than drinking a cup of tea. Teatime is an actual meal and depending upon where in the country you find yourself,this meal could be anything from a scone to a few light sandwiches and cakes,to a full roast dinner.

在英国,下午茶时间不仅仅是喝茶,而实际上是吃餐点的时间。根据不同地方,这个餐点有所不同,有司康饼、三明治、蛋糕,还有烧烤。

In addition to the slices of bread and butter,one would offer thin cucumber sandwiches,or salmon sandwiches as well as cakes,pastries,scones with cream,and of course a Victoria sponge cake. To be able to bake a light and moist Victoria sponge was the true test of one's coOK.

除了面包和黄油,下午茶时间,人们通常吃黄瓜三明治、三文鱼三明治、蛋糕、油酥糕点、奶油司康饼,当然,还有维多利亚海绵蛋糕。是否会做松软湿润的维多利亚海绵蛋糕是衡量厨艺水平的一项测试。

The tea,Indian or Chinese or in many houses,both,would be served in silver tea pots and poured into fine china cups. Etiquette books contained whole chapters on the etiquette of Afternoon Tea and the tea dress wascreated to be worn at such social gatherings.Afternoon Tea was,it should be noted,a social occasion in which only the upper class participated.

无论印度茶还是中国茶,或者在许多人的家里两者均有,都使用银茶壶或精美瓷杯冲饮。礼仪书里应该有下午茶方面的礼仪,在喝茶的社交场合,穿着也是有考究的。重要的一点,下午茶是上流社会参加的社交场合。
