舌尖美食文化

Cocktail is an alcoholic drink which was originally a mixture of spirits,sugar,water and bitters. Now,it is simply a mixture of drinks which contains three or more ingredients with at least one that must be a spirit.

鸡尾酒是一种由烈酒、糖、水、苦味酒混合调制而成的酒精饮料。现在鸡尾酒是一种包含三种或多种食材,至少一种烈酒的混合饮料。

There are as many stories behind the origin of the name cocktail as there are behind the creation of the first Margarita or the Martini. A popular story behind the cocktail name refers to a rooster's tail(or cock tail)being used as a Colonial drink garnish.There are no formal references in written recipes to such a garnish.

关于鸡尾酒起源的故事,与玛格丽特或者马提尼背后的故事一样多。普遍认为鸡尾酒在美国殖民属地时期因以鸡尾毛做装饰而得名。书上没有记载如何做这种装饰。

Although there are hundreds and hundreds of different cocktails,many of them may be grouped together in“families”,based on a common recipe. For example,although traditional Manhattans are based on whiskey,other members of the Manhattan family may contain Southern Comfort,Brandy or rum in its place.

尽管有数百上千种的鸡尾酒,但是它们因相似的配制方法而属一大类,例如,尽管传统的曼哈顿鸡尾酒以威士忌为基酒,而其他的曼哈顿鸡尾酒有的以金馥力娇酒、白兰地酒、朗姆酒作为基酒。

Conversation 1

Cindy:Mom,I'm very curious about the term"Sunday Roast". Do British people only eat roast meat on Sunday?What is the origin of this tradition?

Mom:Well,honey,listen. It's called“Sunday Roast”because people go to church on Sundays,and the meat can be put in the oven to cook before the family goes to church and be ready to eat when they return at lunchtime.

Cindy:I see. Mmm……the roast pork is yummy.I think it's also good for the dinner.Can we cook it for our dinner today?

Mom:Sure. And we can have it as a surprise for your father.

Cindy:Wonderful. What's the brown,crispy thing in the picture of this recipe?

Mom:That's crackling,the skin of the pork. Traditionally,roast pork is served with crackling,onion stuffing,apple sauce,and English mustard.

Mom:Beef,lamb,and sometime a whole chicken.

Cindy:Wow,I hope we could eat all these tasty food tonight.

对话1:

辛迪:妈妈,我一直很好奇“Sunday Roast”的由来,英国人是在星期天吃烤肉吗?这个传统的起源是什么?

妈妈:嗯,宝贝,听着,“Sunday Roast”这个名称的由来是因为人们星期天要去教堂做礼拜,去教堂之前,他们把肉放进炉子里烤,等他们回来时,就有午餐吃了。

辛迪:我明白了。嗯……烤猪肉很好吃,我觉得晚饭吃这个也很好啊。我们可以做烤肉作为我们今天的晚餐吗?

妈妈:当然。我们可以给你爸爸来一个惊喜。

辛迪:好极了!菜谱图片里这个棕色的,看起来脆脆的是什么东西?

妈妈:那是脆烤猪皮,也就是猪皮。传统上,烤猪肉要加上脆皮、洋葱填料、苹果酱和英式芥末的。

辛迪:星期天烤肉还吃什么肉呢?

妈妈:还有牛肉、羊肉,但有时是一整只鸡。

辛迪:哇!我希望我们今晚能够吃遍这些美食。
