据说英国菜肴,曾遭到法国总统希拉克的嘲笑:“你不能相信还有烹调技艺如此之差的人。除了芬兰,这个国家(英国)的饭菜最差劲。”就连英国人民也经常拿自己的饭菜自嘲解闷。其实,英国这个地方水草丰茂,培育出来的蔬菜水果干净水灵而且绝对是原汁原味,草场上自由闲散的牛羊也提供了丰美的肉食和奶制品,但为什么英国的餐饮永远戴着一顶粗陋的帽子呢?这大概也和英国人民谦虚淳朴的性格有关吧。隔着一个英吉利海峡的法国,用精美的餐具和繁复的烹调手法让英国人赞叹不已,而远在地中海的意大利,则用各式各样的面食勾引着英国人的馋虫。各种亚洲快餐也纷纷登陆英国:什么印度咖喱,中国的改造中餐,土耳其的肉夹馍,更是让朴素到极点的英式烹饪失去了往日的光彩。但是在尝过了各种花哨的菜肴之后,我居然认为,除了我们中国的传统饮食之外,英国本土的传统饮食,其实也是很美味的。 British cuisine is said to have been laughed at by French President Jacques Chirac: “You can not believe anyone who has so poor cooking skills ... except in Finland, this country (Britain) has the worst meals.” "Even the British people often Take their own food self-deprecating boring. In fact, the United Kingdom lush fertile land, nurtured vegetables and fruits clean water and absolutely authentic, free and easy on the grasslands of cattle and sheep also provide a rich meat and dairy products, but why the British food always wearing a rough Hat? This is probably also the simple and honest character of the British people about it. Across the English Channel, the English impressed with fine cutlery and elaborate cooking, while the Italians in the Mediterranean, using a wide variety of pasta, seduced British greed. A variety of Asian fast food have also landed in the United Kingdom: what Indian curry, Chinese reform of Chinese food, Turkey Rouga, but also to the simple and extreme British cuisine lost its luster. But after tasted all kinds of fancy dishes, I actually think that in addition to our traditional Chinese diet, the British native’s traditional diet, in fact, is very delicious.
