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
我家乡是濮阳,好吃的食品有很多很多。有老城壮馍、牛肉耗辣椒、香菇酱……但是这些都不是最好吃的,色、香、味俱全的非炸年糕莫属的了。
说它色、香、味俱全,得先从外表说。炸好的年糕片摆在盘子里,一个个金灿灿的,油光满面,不断地发出??的响声,亮闪闪,切面鼓着大肚皮,散发着袅袅的热气,让人大饱眼福,想迫不及待地吃一口。
走近闻一闻。啊!一股甜香钻进鼻孔,沁人心脾。再仔细闻一闻,黄米香渐渐滋入鼻孔。这更加深了品尝炸年糕的想法,更馋化了味蕾。
轻轻咬一口炸年糕,咔?一声,咬破了炸年糕金黄色的脆皮,咬到了香糯可口的年糕,外酥里嫩,甜香无比,轻轻一拉,年糕柔韧的身体拉长了,粘粘软软。炸年糕里面的颜色是淡黄的,虽然年糕不是那么细,那么有颜有味,但是它拥有一种特殊的米面香。咽下一口,好像处于在仙境一样,所有的内脏器官都被泡在这年糕香里。咽下一口,还想再吃一口,就这样,一盘年糕就不知不觉地下了肚。
年糕有黄、白两色,象征金银,年糕又称“年年糕”,与“年年高”谐音,寓意着人们的工作和生活一年比一年提高。所以前人有诗称年糕:“年糕寓意稍云深,白色如银黄如金。”
家乡的炸年糕非常好吃,你快来这里尝尝呀。
郑州号称"烩面之城",烩面馆遍布全市的华街小巷。说起烩面的由来,还有硝烟的味道,据说,羊肉烩面是飞机轰炸出来的美食。抗战时期,日军飞机经常空袭郑州,当时有一位名厨叫赵荣光,特别喜欢吃面食。飞机来了,赵师傅就去躲飞机,回来后,就把乘下的面条加点羊肉汤烩烩再吃。久而久之,赵师傅发现重新烩过的面也很好吃,就潜心研究,在里面放些盐、碱,使之更筋,做出的面别有一番风味,后来就成了风靡一时的风味美食。
烩面粉是用优质小麦面粉制成的,加鸡蛋和盐,在和面之时就将其揉入面粉之中,经反复揉搓,使其筋韧,揪成小剂子,捏成片状两面摸上麻油。煮面之时,几番抖动,面片便由粗变细,被拉成宽约2厘米的薄面条,在滚水里浮沉几番也不易断开。烩面之香,功夫在于汤,汤是由小山羊肉和腿骨熬成的,加入党参、当归、黄芪、白芷、枸杞等中药熬上一天,既去了羊肉的膻气,又消减了羊肉的火气,十分滋补。舀上几勺高汤,把新鲜烩面和少许红薯粉直接放入高汤中煮,烩面盈润如百合瓣,外滑内韧,汤的鲜味细细渗透进面里,鲜香扑鼻;加上几块羊肉,配以黄花菜、木耳、千张丝、鹌鹑蛋等。上桌时外带香菜、辣椒油、糖蒜等小碟,其味更鲜。把面一小段一小段咬下,喝口汤,夹片羊肉,色、香、味足了。
烩面有许多种,加羊肉汤和羊肉的是羊肉烩面,换成牛肉汤和牛肉就是牛肉烩面,换成海鲜就是海鲜烩面。
在游览北京名胜古迹之余,当然就是品尝北京的特色了,对于我这个小吃货来说,也是最在意的事情。北京的特色首当其冲的就是老北京烤鸭。第一天晚上,我们就来到了有名的“全聚德烤鸭”。就坐后,服务员递过来一张精美的菜单,妈妈单刀直入点了鸭子,又点了几个特色配菜,我看着那惹人眼球的图片介绍,只能悄悄地将快要流出的口水咽了回去……
等待总是漫长的。“服务员阿姨,我们的烤鸭好了没有啊……”“马上好,请您稍等!”,我只好眼巴巴地看着一只只烤鸭从我眼前经过,被送到了别人的餐桌。终于,如见亲人般,看见一位带高帽的厨师推着烤鸭车缓缓来到我们跟前,我紧紧地盯着烤鸭,瞬间感觉它怎么那么漂亮啊,金灿灿地冒着油光,扑鼻的香味让我咽了好几次口水。只见厨师不慌不忙地先将鸭皮用刀一片片割下来,麻利地在盘子里摆成一个花形,很快第二盘用剩下的鸭肉摆好的盘子也上桌了。
我们终于可以启动了。我先拿出一片饼子放在手心,再用葱丝沾了酱抹在饼上,最后夹了几片鸭皮和鸭肉,把饼一卷,轻轻咬上一口,真香!脆香酥,但不油腻,总之色香味俱全,让人回味无穷,我情不自禁地竖起了大拇指!
“慢点!”在妈妈的“责怪”声中,我一口气吃了好几个,摸摸鼓起的肚子,我自己都笑了,“妈妈,太好吃了!”。今天,让我的舌头可是过足了瘾,这舌尖上的美味,不愧为京城一绝,让我至今都无法忘怀!
在我的家乡无锡,有着许多美食,小笼包、酱排骨、玉兰饼……而美味可口的豆腐花更是广受欢迎。
我走进卖豆腐花的小店,点了一碗豆腐花。只见店主先从桶里舀了几勺豆腐花放进小碗里,那雪白的豆腐如同一朵朵盛开的小白花,干净纯洁。接着淋上棕褐色的酱油,放上黑紫色的紫菜,白色的小虾米,绿油油的葱花,金黄色的榨菜,撒上白花花的味精和盐。最后,一碗热气腾腾的豆腐花就端在我的手里,一股浓浓的豆香味直钻鼻孔,而我早已是口水直流三千尺了。
我迫不及待地拿起小勺子,舀了一小块嫩豆腐,放进口中。还没来得及嚼,豆腐花就在嘴里化了开来。咸中带甜的味道在口中涌动,舌头上的每一个味蕾仿佛刚从冬眠中醒来,个个都张开嘴巴贪婪地吮吸着、品尝着。将豆腐咽下,鲜香可口的味道霎时充满了全身每个角落,令我回味无穷、浑身舒畅。
这么好吃的豆腐花是怎么做出来的呢?先把黄 豆 放在水中泡四、五个小时,再将豆子放入豆浆机内,磨成豆浆,接着加入少量石膏水,然后装入容器煮几分钟,最后将容器盖好,静置5—10分钟,豆腐就做好了。听起来是不是很简单,可是要做得好就全得凭师傅的经验和手艺了。
无锡的豆腐花真是“此味只应天上有,人间哪得几回尝”,大家也来尝尝这人间美味吧!
