英國為自己的美食正名

面對各國人民的無情吐槽，英國人表示很不服氣：腐國料理博大精深，

怎么能用“黑暗料理”一言蔽之?。?！

于是為了給家鄉(xiāng)美食正名，英國人強烈推薦了8種既正宗又“好吃”的傳統(tǒng)英國美食：

Scottish eggs 蘇格蘭蛋

It's a classic picnic item invented during the 18th century as a portable①portable 英 ['p??t?b(?)l] 美 ['p?rt?bl]adj. 手提的，便攜式的；輕便的n. 手提式打字機food for long carriage rides.

蘇格蘭蛋是一種起源于18世紀的經(jīng)典野餐食物，它方便攜帶，適合長途運輸。

Savory pies 咸味餡餅

American think of pies as crusty gooey②gooey 英 ['gu??] 美 ['ɡui] adj. 膠粘的；感傷的 n. 膠粘物；蜜糖desserts filled with over sweetened fruits, but did you know that they are just as delectable as savory③savory英 ['seiv?ri] adj. 可口的；風味極佳的；味美的n. 開胃菜；香薄荷dishes.

在美國人眼中，餡餅就是脆皮夾心甜點，里面充滿甜膩的水果。但你知道咸味的餡餅也可以一樣美味嗎？

From steak & kidney all the way to jellied eels,nobody does savory pies like the Brits.

從牛排腰子餡，到鰻魚凍餡，沒有人會像英國人一樣吃咸味餡餅。

It's a hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage covered in breadcrumbs and then deep fried.

這道菜將一枚熟心雞蛋卷在香腸里，裹上面包屑，然后油炸。

TIPS：這里給大家安利一下幾個我們常吃的雞蛋的說法——

單面煎雞蛋 sunny side up

煎雞蛋（?。﹔unny

雙面煎雞蛋 over easy

全熟水煮蛋 hard-boiled eggs

半熟水煮蛋 soft-boiled eggs

番茄炒蛋 scrambled eggs with tomatoes

Bangers and mash 香腸土豆泥

英國大大小小的酒吧和餐廳中，人氣最高的一道菜就是香腸土豆泥。

多汁的嫩香腸配上滿滿的土豆泥和洋蔥肉汁，這是英國最著名的菜肴之一，而且名副其實。

Crumpets 松脆餅

Crumpets⑥are kind of like a cross between a pancake and an English muffi n.

松脆餅是一種介于煎餅和英式松餅之間的美食。

The middle is filled with this honeycomb like lattice, so when you toast them and then put butter on top, the butter melts into the holes and fi lls up the little gaps.

松脆餅中間都是這種蜂窩狀格子，所以當你把黃油涂在上面烘烤它時，黃油就會融化，填滿那些小格子。

Bacon butties 培根三明治

It's just a slice of bacon on a bun⑦bun 英 [b?n] 美 [b?n] n. 小圓面包屁股圓髻. How can you not love the bacon in a bun, it's the two best things in the world combined into one thing.

培根三明治就是在圓面包上加一片培根。沒有人能抗拒夾培根的圓面包，這是把全世界最好吃的兩樣食物合二為一。

Sponge puddings 海綿布丁

These stodgy delicious treats are essentially steamed cakes, often with golden syrup or jam at the bottom. So when you fl ip them over, the golden syrup and jam pours down the sides.

這種油膩膩的美食其實是蒸蛋糕，通常還會在底部抹上金色糖漿和果醬。當你把蛋糕翻過來時，金色糖漿和果醬就會流下來。

Scones 司康餅

Scones are the easiest English teatime treat,usually made of wheatfl our with baking powderand baked on sheet pans. The scones are often lightly sweetened, but can also be savoury. They frequently include raisins, currants, and cheese.

司康餅可以說是最容易制作的英式下午茶點心了。通常由小麥面粉加發(fā)酵粉揉成團，放到平爐中烘烤。可以是甜的口味，也可以是閑的口味。里面經(jīng)常摻著葡萄干、醋栗果、芝士等。

Gammon 腌豬腿

It's a classic English pub dish. Gammon steaks are slices of pork leg that are cured like bacon, and then grilled topped with either a fried egg or a slice of pineapple.

這是一道經(jīng)典的英式酒吧菜。腌豬腿肉排是像培根一樣把豬腿肉切成薄片，然后放上煎雞蛋和菠蘿片烤制而成。
