John: But what is British food? Do we have something that defines what British food is? Jean: What de
3、fines it 英国食品到底是个什么定义呢. 我们在以前的节目中给大家介绍过传统的英式下午茶 drinking tea the British way, 还有英国食品的声望, the reputation of British food, 不过真正组成所谓的传统英国饮食的基本成分到底是什么呢？ What are the essentials? John: Well the BBC has been speaking to two experts on the subject. Jean: The two experts are Sybil Kapoor, 他是一位烹饪作家 a cookery
4、 writer, 另一位是 Angela Hartnett，她是一位在一家叫做 The Connaught 的著名伦敦酒店掌厨的高级厨师, Angela is the chef. But John, before speak with the experts cant we have a summary of what British food really is? John: OK Jean. I can sum up British food like this. Generally speaking its simple food, well cooked, not spicy, not
5、 very colourful, but wholesome, filling and in the winter comforting. Jean: Right, let me explain. 我们可以这样来概括英国饮食, its fairly simple 是比较简单的饮食, its well cooked 都是精心烹饪出来的, it isnt very spicy 没有太多辛辣的香料 and not particularly colourful 颜色也不是特别的丰富, but above all its wholesome and filling 是既有益健康又容易吃得够饱的食物。 J
6、ohn: Thats what I like about food in Britain, especially in the winter food is warm, filling and comforting. Jean: 热乎的 warm 而且是吃了让人舒服的 comforting. John: Angela Hartnett, the chef at The Connaught Hotel in London, spoke to our colleagues on the BBCs Womans Hour programme. She was making a comforting
7、and warm pudding. Jean: Puddings 布丁，就是英式英语里甜点的意思, very British and quite good! Angela 在我们 BBC 一期有关女性话题的节目中亲手制作了一道甜点米布丁。 John: Heres how you make a rice pudding with poached pears. Jean: 甜点米布丁配炖梨。 Insert Im making a rice pudding. Rice pudding with poached pears, which is very English one would say, y
8、es, one hopes anyway. Basically Ive heated up some milk, put in vanilla, few little spices, cook the rice in that finish it off with butter, egg yolk and a touch of sugar. I dont put cream, we use milk. Some people put half cream, half milk, but I just tend to use milk, because I dont like it too ri
9、ch. And I think its nice like that. Jean: Lots of cooking words there John. What were some of them again? John: Well Angela was making rice pudding and poached pears. Jean: 甜点米布丁配炖梨。 John: Very British. Theres milk in it, with vanilla. Jean: Sound nice, 配料有牛奶 milk 还有香草子 vanilla 都放在米布丁里面。 John: There
10、s also butter, egg yolk and just a touch of sugar. If you are putting just a touch of something in recipe, then you are using just a small amount, just a touch. Jean: 原来要做这个甜点米布丁还要加不少的黄油 butter, 鸡蛋黄 egg yolk, 还要放少少的一点糖, just a touch of sugar, a touch 就是一点点，一小撮的意思。 John: There are lots of different r
11、ecipes for rice pudding, but in Angelas she doesnt like to use cream. She prefers milk. Jean: Ah so that makes it a little less rich. John: Exactly. Jean: 原来 Angela 她在做米布丁的时候，更喜欢用牛奶 milk 来替代纯奶油 cream. John: So what do you think then, Jean? Would you like to try rice pudding? Jean: Mmm, Im not so sur
12、e, whats the texture like, 会使什么样的口感呢？ John: Ah, yes, thats important with new food you havent tried before. Whats the texture like? Well its smooth, not very heavy, but creamy, and very sweet, and you shouldnt be able to feel the rice in your mouth too much, the texture should be smooth. Jean: Smoot
13、h and creamy 细腻幼滑, sounds nice, maybe I should try it. John: Yes, this is BBC Learning English, talking about the essentials of British food. So far, weve been talking about rice pudding, a very British dish. Jean: Angela Hartnett 这位在伦敦 The Connaught 酒店掌厨的高级厨师为我们演示了如何制作一道英国甜品，就是甜点米布丁，与此同时我们也采访了一位烹饪作
14、家 Sybil Kapoor。制作这道甜点米布丁所用的米肯定最早不是英国本国种植的，对此 Sybil 又怎么看呢，是不是这样一来这道 Rice Pudding 就不能算是纯英国的东西了呢？ Insert This is one of the great dilemmas for British cooks. Because rice of course was probably, became popular in medieval times, and was imported in. But its become an intrinsic part of our diet. Now of
15、course savoury rice as much as sweet. So there are a lot of foods which we think of as being British which in origin certainly werent, and spices and vanilla of course all these elements originally came in, a lot in the middle ages. Jean: A-ha! Now Im beginning to discover something new. 很多英国传统饮食当中用
16、到的原料其实早先都是由别的国家进口而来的，Sybil 说这其实对于英国的厨师来说是个相当的难题 a great dilemma. 什么才算是所谓真正的纯英国原料呢？ John: Well rice was imported into Britain during medieval times, and has become part of the British diet ever since. Jean: 原来大米是在中世纪时期才被进口到英国的 it was imported 被进口的。So I guess with such a long history of importing rice, it has simply become part of the diet, 所以大米就逐渐成为了英国饮食众的一部分。 John: Yes, its become an intrinsic part of the British diet.
