第32章 French Cuisine 法国情调(4)

Waiter:Well,Blanquette de Veau is our specialty. This is a classic“white stew”,ivory veal stew with mushrooms,served over rice.It could be a good option for the main course.

Daniel:I think it is a bit light. I love something hearty and savory.

Waiter:Sorry,sir. French cuisine is not as heavy as other countries',like American cuisine.But I strongly recommend this saumon grillé,herbed grilled salmon.It might be suitable for you.

Daniel:OK,it sounds delicious. I will take it.And for the dessert,I would like an ice cream.

Waiter:Fine. I will come back right away.

对话1:

服务员:打扰一下,先生。我能帮你点菜了吗?

丹尼尔:好的。我想点一些正宗的法国菜。你能给点推荐吗?

服务员:当然。对于开胃菜,我推荐乳酪海鲜,受欢迎的第一道菜。这道菜是用咖喱酱和奶油酱浇炸土豆、海鲜虾、玉米与香葱做成的。

丹尼尔:好,我点这个,我喜欢海鲜。主菜呢?

服务员:嗯,白汁烩小牛肉是我们的特色菜。这是经典的炖白肉,乳酪炖牛肉和蘑菇,与米饭一起吃。这是不错的主菜之选。

丹尼尔:我觉得这有点清淡了。我喜欢丰盛美味的。

服务员:对不起,先生。法国菜没有其他国家的菜式那样重口味,比如美国菜。但是我强烈推荐这道香草烤三文鱼。这道菜也许适合你。

丹尼尔:好,听起来很美味。我就点这个了。至于甜点,我想来个冰激凌。

服务员:好的,我马上就回来。

舌尖美食文化

French beef stew is traditional served with steamed or boiled potatoes. It's also great with a Potato Gratin.Cooking the beef slowly and gently in plenty of liquid is a great way to deal with the sometimes tougher and more strongly flavored nature of grass-fed beef,especially for people first making the switch to truly grass-fed beef.Stewing breaks down the toughness of any meat,and the acid in the wine also stands up against the stronger,beefier flavor some people need to ease into when they try grass-fed meat.

法式炖牛肉是一道传统法国菜,与土豆一同食用,与脆皮土豆搭配也很棒。炖牛肉的时候,需要在汤里慢慢煨炖,这是一种让更柔韧的食草牛肉煮出纯美味道,尤其对于那些喜欢食草牛肉正宗味道的人们。煨炖之后,让肉质鲜嫩,红酒中的酒石酸也能混合浓厚的牛肉味。有的人吃牛肉的时候,需要减轻这种牛肉味。
