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
”山珍海味不须供,富水春香酒味浓。满座宾客呼上菜,装成卷切号蟠龙。“这首诗说的就是我的家乡钟祥的蟠龙菜。不管是结婚,过生日还是过年,在我的家乡都必不可少的要吃蟠龙菜,因为它象征着龙凤吉祥。
蟠龙菜的由来与世界文化遗产——明显陵息息相关。相传明武宗正德皇帝朱厚照死后,因为没有儿子继位,按照明朝祖训,如果哥哥死了就弟弟或堂弟来继位,因为朱厚照没有弟弟,堂弟倒是有三个,于是太后下令让各地亲王赶赴京城,先到为君,兴王朱厚熄为了争取时间,便假扮囚犯赶赴京城,为了不引人注意,兴王命厨师詹多做一道吃鱼不见鱼,吃肉不见肉的菜以便中途使用。詹多看到蒸熟的红薯后受到了启发便把肉,鱼剁碎蒸熟做成红薯的样子,红薯的皮就用红的鸡蛋做,兴王吃着”红薯“第一个赶到乐京城,当上了皇帝。
蟠龙菜红黄相同,色泽鲜艳,油而不腻,鲜嫩可口非常美味。而它之所以美味是因为他的做工极其精细,复杂。首先要把猪肉剁成茸,加清水泡,再上淀粉、盐,然后再把鸡蛋搅成粘稠内糊,把草鱼剁成茸,加盐,淀粉搅成糊状,再推三张鸡蛋皮,把鱼茸和肉茸和在一起拌均匀,摊在鸡蛋上,再在锅里蒸半个小时,最后把他切成片,摆成龙的形状,这样蟠龙菜就做好了。
虽然蟠龙菜没有山珍海味那么名贵,但是他在我的心中永远是最好吃的。如果大家到我家乡钟祥游玩,别忘了一定要吃蟠龙菜呀!
虽然离开青龙老家近二十年,居住环境与生活条件都发生了很大的变化,但饮食习惯与爱好却未随着时间与空间的变化而改变。下过无数次餐馆、饭店,吃过各种风味小吃,最喜爱的还是那些吃不够的家乡菜:大馅儿蒸饺、血肠、方块肉、小河虾、小河鱼、凉糕……这些美食虽然大多数都是很普通的家常饭菜,却又具有独特的北方风味,是家常与待客的经典美食,胜过鸡鸭鱼肉,包含着浓浓的家乡味道,让我写出来给大家分享一下吧。
大馅儿蒸饺——可能对每个人来讲都不陌生,可是吃过很多蒸饺,各种馅料,自己家也做过很多次,感觉最好吃、最难忘的还是在老家吃的新鲜地道的大馅儿。地里新鲜的刚摘的大白瓜,刚炼过的油梭子加上一些新鲜的韭菜,最擅长包大馅的大舅母一个人连和面带擀皮、包好饺子、上锅蒸,用白菜叶代替屉布,这一整套步骤在我们早晨还在梦乡的时候就会搞定,经常会让我们还未睁眼便已闻到阵阵蒸大馅儿的清香。
有时干脆就用新鲜的白菜加油梭子做馅儿,也很好吃,馅料鲜香,即使用很普通的白面,也会做出水灵灵的,使人吃不够的大馅儿,味道和水饺大不同。
