American burgers美式汉堡汉堡是一个quintessential American food(典型的美国食物)。• quintessential /ˌkwɪntɪˈsenʃl/ adj. 典型的Burgers originally are from Germany, but the US has made it differently. 汉堡本来是源于德国的,那美式汉堡有什么不一样呢?主要有3个方面的区别:(1)burger patty肉饼不一样American burgers里面的burger patty(肉饼)typically use ground beef(通常用碎牛肉),但是欧洲的burger patty可能会用其它种类的肉,比如猪肉,然后里面可能会放各种各样的东西,比如breadcrumbs(面包屑)还有鸡蛋。(2)seasoning调味品不一样美国的肉饼通常就是simply seasoned salt and pepper(用盐和胡椒简单地一调味)来突出 the meat flavor(肉的味道,也就是burger patty味道),但是在欧洲就可能会加各种herbs and spices(草药和香料)。(3)toppings配菜不一样美国汉堡大多数比较standard(标准),比如配菜都是 lettuce(生菜), tomato(西红柿), cheese(奶酪)以及condiments(调味品)。但是德国汉堡可能里面还放了sauerkraut(德国酸菜)。• condiment /ˈkɑ:ndɪmənt/ n. 调味品,佐料2. American pizza美国披萨非常有名的典型的美国披萨是 the Chicago-style deep-dish pizza(芝加哥深盘披萨),它和classic Italian pizza(典型的意大利披萨)不同。这种披萨is baked in a special pan(是在一个特殊的平底锅里烤的),这样烤出来的pizza crust(披萨饼皮)就会有very high edges on the side(凸起来很高的边),就像一个大盘子一样。所以,你就可以往里面加想要的filling(填料/陷),比如cheese以及chunky tomato sauce(大块番茄酱)。• chunky /ˈtʃʌŋki/ adj. 矮胖的3. Barbecue美式烧烤Barbecue 是很多美国人都引以为傲的。美国人真的很喜欢吃烧烤。Americans eat a lot of barbecue. 像在Texas(德克萨斯州),他们的特色就是Texas style smoked briskets(烟熏牛胸脯肉)。美国不同的地区会有独自的distinct styles of barbecue(独特的烧烤风格),也会use different meats, cooking methods, and sauces(使用不同的肉类、烹饪方法和酱汁)。• brisket /ˈbrɪskɪt/ n. (兽类的)胸部,胸肉4. Sandwich三明治Americans love their sandwiches. 大家都知道的Subway(赛百味)就是美国连锁的三明治品牌。比较受美国人喜欢的三明治馅是BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato),就是培根、生菜、番茄组合在一起,这是非常典型的三明治馅。还有美国人会喜欢Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich(花生酱和果冻三明治),很多美国人consider it to be a comfort food(认为它是一种很舒适的食物),吃起来会让你feel very comfortable,能给人带来一种内心上的安慰,usually reminds you of childhood(会让你想起童年) or home-cooking(家常菜), family gatherings(家庭聚会)and a sense of warmth(温暖的感觉)。5. Seafood dish 海鲜Clam chowder(蛤蜊浓汤),在蛤蜊汤里加入cream,喝起来非常creamy(光滑细腻),对于很多美国人来说,也是a comfort food。另一种海鲜美食是lobster rolls(龙虾卷)。这种龙虾is native to the east coast(原产于东海岸的)。这种龙虾肉经常served on a grilled hot dog bun(配烤热狗面包),里面的馅放lobster, butter(奶油), mayonnaise(蛋黄酱), lemon juice(柠檬汁), salt(盐), pepper(胡椒)。6. Breakfast classics经典美式早餐The Breakfast Classics(经典美式早餐)经常会有pancakes(薄煎饼),waffles(华夫饼),bacon and eggs(培根加鸡蛋)。再配上一杯咖啡,那就是美式完美早餐了。7. Apple pie苹果派American desserts (美式甜点)are also unique, 其中的一个经典就是the apple pie(苹果派)。It’s very comforting, especially around the holidays。美国人对苹果派非常喜欢,以至于都有一个说法:“as American as apple pie”。如果你想说一个东西特别有美式风格,你就可以说it is as American as apple pie。8. Macaroni and cheese奶酪通心粉Americans really really love eating dairy. A classic American comfort food would be the macaroni and cheese.在the fast food section(快餐区)或者是ready-to-eat sections(即食食品区)的货架上,总能找到macaroni and cheese。当你在很饿的时候吃,it tastes great,但是一旦吃得太多了,it just starts to taste a bit heavy(口味就有点太重了)。Macaroni and cheese是很多美国人的childhood favourite(童年最爱),很多人长大了依然喜欢。• macaroni /ˌmækəˈroʊni/ n. 通心面请在评论区留言告诉我们:你都吃过哪些美国菜呢?Which American food is your favourite?
