冰淇淋是生活中不可缺少的一道美食。夏天没胃口时,尝些冰淇淋,是一个迅速补充体力降低体温的好方法。尤其对小朋友来说更是挡不住的诱惑,聪明的妈妈能在小朋友不愿吃饭时,偶尔改变方式以冰淇淋取代主食,同样能摄取营养和热量,漂亮的颜色又让人产生食欲。
你知道吗?美国每年能销售10亿加仑的冰淇淋,8%的牛奶最终变成冷冻食品。如今,各种各样的冰淇淋店更是遍布世界。现在就让我们一起看看冰淇淋的历史吧。
The earliest reports of people enjoying flavored ice desserts come from the Romans and the Chinese. Marco Polo returned from his famous expedition with fruit-flavored ices, reporting that Asians had been making them for thousands of years. These delicacies became popular in France in the 1500s, but only among royalty. Over the next few centuries, the process of making them evolved from hauling mountain ice to salt/ice freezing methods. Cream was introduced as an ingredient, and by the 1700s, people were enjoying a dessert that was very similar to today's ice cream.
The hand-cranked ice cream freezer was first developed by Nancy Johnson in 1846. Ice was readily available from large warehouses in that era, so ice cream became a treat that could be enjoyed by almost anyone, not just the rich. Ice cream making was revolutionized again in 1851, when Jacob Fussel started the first wholesale ice cream manufacturing operation in Baltimore, Maryland. Fussel's dairy business had excess cream and he couldn't figure out what to do with it. He tried using it to make ice cream, and before long his ice cream business outsold the rest of the dairy.
The business slowly evolved for the next few decades. Manufacturing methods and ingredients improved, while refrigeration technology became cheaper and more efficient. By the 1920s, home refrigerators and freezers became more common, which gave the ice cream industry another boost. Sugar was rationed in the US during World War I, but the ice cream industry convinced the government that ice cream was an "essential food”. Ice cream factories were allotted sugar rations and production continued.
Ice cream increased in popularity until the Depression years caused a drop in sales for virtually all non-essential goods. Sales increased in the years leading up to World War II before leveling off in the post-war years. The rise of the giant supermarket created demand for cheaper, mass-produced ice cream, but quality suffered. The 1960s saw a resurgence in "premium"ice cream, while the following decades saw the market fragment into low-fat varieties for the health-conscious, including frozen yogurt, fruit bars, ice milk, fat-free ice cream, and dozens of other varieties. However, ice cream still makes up about 60 percent of the market share among frozen desserts. While ice cream is enjoyed worldwide, it has become an American tradition
我先挑了两个大土豆,把它们放进水池里洗干净,再让奶奶教我刨土豆皮。奶奶左手拿土豆,右手拿刨子,只见她把刨子上的刀片往土豆上一擦,一块土豆皮就刨了下来。再刷刷刨几下,土豆就露出了金黄色的果肉。我心想:这么简单,我也会。我拿了一个土豆刨了起来。刨完后,我觉得土豆小了很多,原来我刨的时候太用力,把土豆肉都刨掉了。奶奶笑着说:“刨的时候要轻一点,才不容易把果肉也刨掉。”我按照奶奶说的轻轻刨,果然只刨掉了土豆皮。
该切土豆了。我拿起刀切起来,可是切完以后一看,呵呵,这哪里是土豆片啊?大的大,小的小,厚的厚,薄的薄。我心想:怎么切得这么难看呀!奶奶似乎看出了我的心思,说:“没关系,你第一次切土豆,已经很不错了。我来帮你切成土豆丁。”奶奶拿起刀,熟练地切起来,不一会,就把土豆切成了方方正正、大小匀称的土豆丁。
奶奶帮我把火开起来,等锅热了,我倒了点油进去。油热了,冒出了烟。我把土豆丁倒进锅里,只听噼噼啪啪的声音,我赶紧用铲子翻炒起来。我又从盐盒里舀了一小勺盐放入锅中继续炒,土豆变得黄亮亮的'。奶奶倒了点开水进锅里,盖上锅盖说:“再煮一会。”过了几分钟,我有点着急了,迫不及待地打开盖子,看见锅里还有水,又连忙盖上盖子。又等了大概五分钟,我打开盖子,水已经烧干了。我赶紧又翻炒了几下,再洒上了我爱吃的胡椒粉,就把土豆丁铲进了盘子里。哇,一盘金灿灿的土豆丁出炉了。我闻了闻,真是太香了!尝了一口,又软又糯,好吃极了!
妈妈回来了,当她看到土豆丁,得知是我炒的,直夸我有大厨的潜力!我得意极了,第一次炒土豆就这么成功!
那一天我是在外婆家过的,我十分得快乐。我们一家子聚集在一起做汤圆。妈妈做的汤圆特别好。汤圆又白又圆,看起来使人垂涎欲滴。汤圆这个名字是怎么来的呢?妈妈告诉我,原来它长得圆圆的,又有汤,所以叫汤圆。
现在,我们可以开始吃汤圆了,我最喜欢吃豆沙馅的,吃起来甜甜的,粘粘的味道好极了。我一吃就吃了十几个。汤圆就像它的`名字一样,团团圆圆的。这一天有意思吧!吃完饭,我们就回家去了。在家里的路上,我看见一群幼儿园的小朋友,提着一只只各式各样的小灯笼,排着整齐的队伍在游街,小灯笼的灯光将大地照的亮极了,将大街照得光芒四射。
爸爸做的炒鸡不但香气十足,而且不咸不淡,吃着正好。我最喜欢炒鸡的辣,有一句俗话叫“无辣不欢”,我觉得我没有了辣就像女孩子没有了芭比娃娃。我喜欢吃鸡的翅、爪等部位,虽然没有太多的肉,但是翅、爪部位比任何一个部位都要香多了,炒鸡整体来说也是非常不错的。炒鸡就像,必须放松、认真、稳定的炒,如果过了火或者是不熟那就味道不行了,所以做好炒鸡还是挺难的。炒鸡最主要的就是永远吃不腻,无论你吃多少顿都不会讨厌吃,我就是这样。最近报纸上说多吃肉食鸡会不好,我告诉你,我们饭店的鸡绝对没有一只肉食鸡,全都是柴鸡。要是我骗你,假一赔十,这下你放心了吧。
有一次,我回到家,我发现家里没有人,但我闻到了一股浓浓的香味,我跑进厨房,离香味还差一两米,我就判断出这肯定是炒鸡而且还是只柴鸡,我过去一看,果然和我想的一样,饭桌上有一个盘子,盘子里有一整盘鸡。我当时没多想,“嗖”的一下拿了个鸡翅,两秒钟就吃完了,我就接着一块、两块、五块、十块飞快的吃起来,可以说是狼吞虎咽,我当时也不知道怎么了,就一闻香味就开始吃了,可能是因为我太饿了吧,一会儿就吃完了盘子里的鸡肉。我挺着肚子正美美的坐在沙发上看电视,突然听见脚步声,原来是妈妈回来了,她看到我肚子挺着,又看看厨房里的.盘子,怒气冲冲的说:“宗一恒,盘子里的鸡肉上哪去了?!”我不好意思地摸着肚子说:“在这儿呢。”妈妈气得说:“这是爸爸给奶奶做的,有二斤多鸡呢,你全吃了?!马上给我关上电视做两张试卷去!”我当时背上凉飕飕的,就像刮了一块肉去,赶紧跑屋里去做试卷了。我边做边想:“用两张试卷换一盘鸡肉太值了,哈哈哈!”。
炒鸡的难度大但味香、好吃。我喜欢挑战难度,我更喜欢吃炒鸡!
我放下手中的遥控器,关掉了电视机,跑到妈妈跟前,拍了拍胸脯説:“妈妈,今天就由我来做早饭吧!”“你除了会做西红柿炒鸡蛋还会做什么呀?”妈妈疑问地问道。我故意不高兴地说:“妈妈,你怎么不相信我,今天我就给你做你最爱吃的菜,炒土豆!”因为我以前看过妈妈怎么做的,所以把妈妈赶去了卧室休息。
我披上了“战袍”,拿起了两个大土豆,打开了水龙头,用手开始搓洗土豆,然后把削皮刀拿来,把土豆皮给削掉,我把两个土豆削得很丑,它们好像在说:“你把我们削得也太丑了,真烦人。”
现在该切土豆了,我把土 豆 放在菜板上,用菜刀“咚咚”地切起来。嘿嘿,幸好我以前做西红柿炒鸡蛋的时候,切过西红柿。当然,这一次也难不倒我。哈哈……
紧接着开始炒土豆了,我倒了点油,开起火,锅里油发出了“兹兹”的声音。看着油热了,我把葱姜作料粉等倒进锅里,炸了一小会,作料变黄了,就把土豆倒进锅里,开始上下翻炒,不一会儿,我的炒土豆就做好了。
最后,当然是最重要的品尝。我把盘子端到餐桌上,拿了两双筷子,给妈妈品尝,“好吃,好吃!”妈妈伸了个大拇指对我说。我听了心里美滋滋的。
我终于学会了炒土豆啰!
