第21章 British Cuisine 英伦风味(3)

Waiter:Well,lamb is quite popular in England. How about lamb curry or braised lamb shank?

Robert:Oh,I'm sorry I don't eat lamb and pork.

Waiter:In that case,I recommend a dish of beef. Scottish beef must be the best choice for you and it's the best seller in our restaurant.

Robert:What part of the beef is it?

Waiter:It's from the ribs. Our chef seeks out well-marbled beef for the most tender and succulent stew.This stew is so intensely flavorful and deserves a rich and powerful red from Bordeaux to go along with it.

Robert:It sounds amazing. I will take one.Thank you very much.

Waiter:You're welcome. And let's move on the others.

对话1:

服务生:你现在要点菜吗?

罗伯特:是的。我点一个苏格兰浓汤作为开胃菜。实际上,我对英国菜不太了解。主菜方面,有什么推荐吗?

服务生:嗯,羊肉在英国相当受欢迎的。来一份咖喱羊肉或红焖羊肘,怎么样?

罗伯特:噢,对不起,我不吃羊肉和猪肉。

服务生:那样的话,我推荐你来一份牛肉。苏格兰牛肉肯定是你的最佳之选,它可是我们饭店的招牌菜。

罗伯特:选自哪个部位的牛肉?

服务生:肋排。我们的厨师精选细纹牛肉烹制鲜嫩多汁的炖肉。这份炖肉相当别有风味,配上一瓶醇厚的波尔多葡萄酒可再绝妙不过了。

罗伯特:听起来相当棒啊。我来一份吧。谢谢。

服务生:不客气!继续点其他的吧。

Cameron:Chapal,I found you're a fan of kedgeree.

Chapal:Oh,yes. That's my favorite main course.Kedgeree helps me to keep in mind the wonderful time during the childhood.

Cameron:Well,I thought kedgeree is a traditional British cuisine.

Chapal:I have no idea. But they contain sort of similar ingredients and the like.Probably it was introduced to UK from India.

Cameron:Yes. Or it could be that the British colonist took it to India.

Chapal:I agree. Both routes could be possible.But anyway,this dish is widely welcome in both regions.

Cameron:Great!Let's enjoy it!

舌尖美食文化

Kedgeree is a dish consisting of cooked,flaked fish,boiled rice,parsley,hard-boiled eggs,curry powder,butter or cream and occasionally sultanas.

奶油鱼蛋饭是用鱼片、米饭、香芹、水煮鸡蛋、咖喱、黄油或奶油做成的,有时加点葡萄干。

Kedgeree is thought to have originated with an Indian rice-and-bean or rice-and-lentil dish Khichri,traced back to 1340 or earlier. It is widely believed that the dish was brought to the United Kingdom by returning British colonials who had enjoyed it in India and introduced it to the UK in Victorian times,part of the then fashionable Anglo-Indian cuisine.It is one of many breakfast dishes that,in the days before refrigeration,converted yesterday's leftovers into hearty and appealing breakfast dishes,of which bubble and squeak is probably the best known.

据说奶油鱼蛋饭来自于1340年的印度或更早些时候的一种印度豆饭或一种小扁豆菜饭。人们认为奶油鱼蛋饭是由维多利亚女王时代的英国殖民者从印度带回英国的,属于当时印度的流行菜肴。来到英国,这道菜成为早餐特色之一。在电冰箱问世之前,人们把前夜剩饭做成第二天的美味早餐。英国的早餐,炸土豆卷心菜最为著名。
