分享到
While most Americans will be feasting on traditional roast dinners and sipping egg nog come Christmas, other countries around the world will be enjoying their own - very different - culinary customs.
大多数美国人在圣诞期间会吃烤肉、喝蛋酒,而其他国家也有自己独特的圣诞大餐。
As charted on an infographic compiled by Bookatable, Christmas dinner in France is usually enjoyed shortly after midnight on Christmas Eve, and comprises of oysters, lobster meat and foie gras; whereas in Japan, a celebratory bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken has been all the rage since the 1970s.
据“预订餐桌”(Bookatable)汇编的信息图表显示,法国人通常会在平安夜午夜后不久享用圣诞大餐,包括吃牡蛎、龙虾和鹅肝酱。而在日本,肯德基“假日庆祝炸鸡桶”自20世纪70年代以来作为“圣诞必备小吃”风靡一时。
Perhaps most unusual of all, head to Greenland and you'll find natives ringing Christmas in with kiviak: the raw flesh of Arctic birds which have been fermented for months in the hollowed-out body of a seal - beaks, feathers, feet and all.
最不同寻常的圣诞食物当属格陵兰岛的“海雀”餐(Kiviak)。当地人把整个生海雀(包括鸟喙、羽毛、鸟爪)塞到中空的海豹皮中发酵数月。
圣诞食物:哥斯达黎加——墨西哥粉蒸肉;加拿大——“鸡骨糖果”;格陵兰岛——发酵的海雀肉配鲸脂
For those Greenland inhabitants who wish to dodge the seal-encased dead bird, there's mattak: chunks of whale blubber.
不想吃海豹皮包裹海雀肉的格陵兰人还可以选择吃块状鲸脂。
Kentucky Fried Chicken has been customary in Japan ever since the American fast-food giant launched a 'Kentucky for Christmas' marketing campaign in 1974.
自从美国快餐巨头肯德基于1974年在日本推出“圣诞餐”以来,“圣诞节吃圣诞餐”已经成为日本的习俗。
The fried chicken meal - which comes with cake and champagne and costs around 3,336 yen ($40) - is so popular that many fans order it months in advance to avoid two-hour waiting lines on Christmas Day.
这顿“圣诞餐”包括炸鸡、蛋糕和香槟,卖3336日元(40美元)。它风靡全日本,许多当地居民为了避免圣诞当天排两个小时的队,提前数月就下订单。
