各国早餐都吃什么, 你造吗？

20160816ou 一中两外锵锵三人行 今日话题： 各国早餐都吃什么, 你造吗？ Lincoln: Now its time to have a look at breakfasts from around the world. Yoyo: There was a report that came out that said that typical US breakfast usually contains a lot of sweet food. The typical American breakfast usually has sugary cereal, processed waffles and syrup. Sometimes scrambled eggs pork products or orange juice. What do people eat in the UK? Nick: People do eat a lot of sweet things, there is the cereal of course and people eat a lot of toast. Yoyo: Wouldn’t that be too sweet? Lincoln: Oh my goodness. Toast is a big problem for me in China in general for me because a lot of bread is sweet. Yoyo: So that is maybe why we don’t eat it in the morning. Nick: Because its your fault! Lincoln: Bread is not sweet outside of China, not really. I’m sure you can find sweet breads if you look hard enough, but a good solid full English breakfast is amazing. Yoyo: So enlighten us Nick. Nick: The full English breakfast that Lincoln is referring to is toast that isn’t sweet. It’s bacon, sausages, mushrooms tomatoes and baked beans [LW: yeah]. Lincoln: In South Africa it is very similar to the British one I would assume. We have porridge like Bokomo and Matebela it’s really filling and really gets you all the way. Those are the things I think we would have. Standard procedure? Maybe boiled egg with some toast and some butter, and some nice coffee. Yoyo: Coffee in South Africa is very good? Lincoln: Yeah we have a good coffee culture so we have a lot of that going around. Yoyo: Now the Chinese breakfast. We have deep fried dough sticks. Lincoln: Is that not very heavy in the morning? Yoyo: We eat it together with the soy milk and the dough sticks. Lincoln: Why soy milk specifically? Yoyo: You digest it better and sometimes it tastes better. Lincoln: I’m just thinking about all this milk and fried dough sloshing around in my stomach. Yoyo: And we have a type soy milk usually made with a blender in the street stalls and you can buy it everywhere. The next one is jianbing. Do you like it? Lincoln: Now this is interesting because jianbing isn’t really a breakfast food for me. That’s a food that I tend to have on the end of a night out. Yoyo: They are usually wrapped around a deep fried crispy dough slice and topped with fine eggs and finely chopped mustard pickles scallions and spicy sauce. Nick: They are really nice foods and I know from having them, but I don’t want them at breakfast time. Yoyo: What about rice porridge? Lincoln: That has the right consistency, but its just the texture. It doesn’t really do it for me. Yoyo: Sometimes in certain parts of China. Maybe Guangdong, usually people will eat porridge with pork egg and meat in it. That makes it very nutritious. What about buns, the little buns xiao longbao? Lincoln: That is very delicious but not for breakfast. What maybe should happen is some of these people in that survey can come over here and look at what some Chinese people are eating and rethink some of their ways.
