国外特色美食介绍

意大利美食

意大利人饮食特点:味浓香烂,以原汁原味闻名,烹调上以炒、煎、炸、红焖等方法着称,并喜用面条、 米饭作菜,而不作为主食用。意大利人吃饭的习惯一般在六七成熟就吃,这是其他国家所没有的。口味爱好:喜吃烤羊腿、牛排等口味醇浓的菜。各种面条、炒饭、馄饨、饺子、面疙瘩也爱吃。意大利的美食如同它的文化:高贵、典雅、味道独特。精美可口的面食、奶酪、火腿和葡萄酒成为世界各国美食家向往的天堂。

意大利美食集各家之长于一堂,一般而言,北意大利菜与法国菜相近,多用乳酪、鲜奶。南意大利则大多用番茄、橄榄油。加尔达湖是番茄栽培的北限,波河流域的帕达纳平原,则是意大利数一数二的肉牛、乳牛产地。因为临近法国、瑞士、奥地利、南斯拉夫等国,意大利菜多少受这些国家的影响。北意大利的美食Culash(牛肉熬煮)就深受南斯拉夫影响。而苹果派Strudel则有德国、奥地利的风味,南西西里岛的Cuscusu则属阿拉伯同味。了解意大利菜进而可了解意大利的风土、文化、历史背景。

传统的意大利式正餐一般会有四至五道菜式:头盘:意大利文称Antipasto,是"用餐之前"的意思。第一道菜主要是指汤(Zuppe)、意粉或烩饭(Risotto),意大利文是Primo Pratto。由于之后仍有主菜,所以分量会较少。意大利面食饮誉全球,所以您可千万不要错过这道可口的面点。

第二道菜即主菜:是整个正餐的灵魂,主要是海鲜或肉类菜式。不少主菜菜式都是以烧烤或油炸方式烹调,享用时随意加点桌上的盐或橄榄油便可食用。西餐非常注重甜品,而意式甜品极为出色。意大利文中甜品Dlolce本身就是“甜”的意思。通常是在享用主菜后才点选的。

钟情咖啡闲话

意大利人都嗜好咖啡。钟情于那有泡沫的浓厚的咖啡的他们,也很喜欢有各种各样的变化。想喝比平时更浓的咖啡时有Caffe ristretto、清一点的有Caffe lungo(还有alto)。美式咖啡有Caffe americano。饭后咖啡也常喝加利久酒的Caffe americano。浓浓的咖啡和丰富的利久酒的香味可以暖胃。寒冷的时候这实在是能让人精神焕发的佳品。咖啡Caffe和牛奶Latte的相互调和也是无与伦比的。首先让我们记住machiato这个词。Caffe late和latte macchiato的区别就在于咖啡量的多少,不知为何一般把Latte Machiato倒入杯中带出去的比较多。

意大利冰激凌

冰激凌是意大利人的发明,并在16世纪由西西里岛的一位教士改良,完善了它的制作技术。意大利冰激凌(Gelato)的制作传统也一代一代地传下来。直到今天,西西里岛的冰激凌仍被认为是意大利最好的冰激凌。到过意大利的人们,品尝到意大利冰激凌文化,无不为其可口的味道以及精致的外形所惊叹。

Talking about the Friendship谈论友情

01Daily Dialogue 日常会话

Friendship standards

(During the lunch time, Jack and Joan eat at a restaurant nearby their company. Now they are chatting about the friendship. )

Jack : What kind of qualities do you look for in your friends?

Joan : I like to make friends with people who are open and friendly. These people are usually active and fun to be with.

Jack : Sure. But sometimes those who are not open and active can make very good friends.

Joan : Of course. So that's why a person always has different kinds of friends in his life.

Jack : Yes. I like to make friends with those who I can get along well with.

Joan : Sure! Who will make friends with those he cannot get on well?

Jack : Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that maybe you don't have much in common, but you feel very comfortable when you are with each other. That's a great feeling.

Joan : I agree. But generally, I prefer to make friends with those who share similar interests with me. We can do a lot of things together and it's great fun. I love spending time with my friends.

Jack : That certainly is good. But I think the more important thing about friendship is that you can share happiness and sorrows; you can always help each other when in trouble; you can cheer each other up when disheartened.

Joan : Yes, that is true. So I think being a good friend means you have to be supportive, willing to help, honest,trustworthy and a good listener. These qualities are important in maintaining good friendships.

Jack : Absolutely. Everyone needs friends. Friendship plays an important role in our life.

Joan : I completely agree with you.

杰克:是的。我喜欢跟那些我能相处得来的人交朋友。
