10个美食之国最推荐和不推荐的食物 不知道就等着被坑吧 Which country has the best food?

5. Japan 日本

Japanese apply the same precision to their food as they do to their engineering. This is the place that spawned tyrannical sushi masters and ramen bullies who make their staff and customers tremble with a glare.

日本人在料理方面的精准度跟他们在工程上所用的精准度相同。在这里诞生了专横的寿司大师和拉面强人，他们只需要一个眼神就能让手下员工和顾客颤栗。

You can get a lavish multicourse kaiseki meal that presents the seasons in a spread of visual and culinary poetry. Or grab a seat at a revolving sushi conveyor for a solo feast. Or pick up something random and previously unknown in your gastronomic lexicon from the refrigerated shelves of a convenience store. It's impossible to eat badly in Japan.

你可以吃到由多道菜组成的怀石料理大餐，用时令美食展现视觉和烹饪艺术。或者坐在回转寿司店里享受一顿单人盛宴。或者跑到便利店的冷藏货架上随意挑选一些自己没听说过的美食。在日本不可能吃得不好。

4. Spain 西班牙

Let's eat and drink, then sleep, then work for two hours, then eat and drink. Viva Espana, that country whose hedonistic food culture we all secretly wish was our own. All that bar-hopping and tapas-eating, the minimal working, the 9 pm dinners, the endless porron challenges -- this is a culture based on, around and sometimes even inside food.

让我们吃吃喝喝，然后睡一觉，起来工作俩小时，然后接着吃吃喝喝。西班牙万岁！我们都暗自希望自己的国家也能拥有西班牙这样的享乐主义饮食文化。从一家酒吧喝到另一家酒吧，大吃tapas小菜，最短的工作时间，晚上9点的晚餐，还有无止境的波隆酒壶挑战——所有这些都代表着一种基于饮食、围绕饮食、有时甚至蕴含于饮食当中的文化。

The Spaniards gourmandize the way they flamenco dance, with unbridled passion. They munch on snacks throughout the day with intervals of big meals. From the fruits of the Mediterranean Sea to the spoils of the Pyrenees, from the saffron and cumin notes of the Moors to the insane molecular experiments of Ferran Adria, Spanish food is timeless yet avant garde.

西班牙人热爱美食就和他们跳弗拉门戈舞一样，有着无限的激情。他们在每顿大餐的间隔都会津津有味地吃着小零食。从地中海的水果到庇里牛斯山的珍馐，从摩尔人用来调味的藏红花和小茴香到名厨费兰·阿德里亚的疯狂分子料理，西班牙菜是永恒却又前卫的。

3. France 法国

If you're one of those people who doesn't like to eat because "there's more to life than food" -- visit Paris. It's a city notorious for its curmudgeonly denizens, but they all believe in the importance of good food. Two-hour lunch breaks for three-course meals are de rigeur.

如果你是那种认为“活着不光是为了吃”而不喜欢吃的人，那么去一趟巴黎吧。这个城市的居民脾气出了名的臭，但是他们却都相信好食物很重要。用两个小时的午休时间来吃一顿三道菜的饭是必须的。

Down-to-earth cooking will surprise those who thought of the French as the world's food snobs (it is the birthplace of the Michelin Guide after all). Cassoulet, pot au feu, steak frites are revelatory when had in the right bistro.

朴实的烹饪手法会让那些认为法国人对食物挑剔的人大感意外（毕竟，法国是米其林指南的诞生地）。如果进对了饭馆，那么豆焖肉、蔬菜牛肉汤、牛排配薯条都会刷新你的认知。

Baguette -- the first and last thing that you'll want to eat in France. The first bite is transformational; the last will be full of longing.

法棍面包——你在法国想吃的第一样和最后一样东西。第一口改变人生，最后一口满是憧憬。

Dumb 不推荐

Foie gras -- it tastes like 10,000 ducks roasted in butter then reduced to a velvet pudding, but some animal advocates decry the cruelty of force-feeding fowl to fatten their livers.

鹅肝酱——吃起来就像是把1万只鸭子放在黄油里烤，然后压缩成一个柔滑的布丁，不过有些动物保护者谴责这种强迫家禽进食来让它们肝脏肥大的残酷行为。

2. China 中国

The people who greet each other with "Have you eaten yet?" are arguably the most food-obsessed in the world.

会用“您吃了吗？”来寒暄的人毫无疑问是全世界对食物最痴迷的人了。

The Chinese entrepreneurial spirit and appreciation for the finer points of frugality results in one of the bravest tribes of eaters in the world. But the Chinese don't just cook and sell anything, they also make it taste great.

中国人的创业精神以及对极致节俭的欣赏孕育出全世界最勇敢的食者群落之一。但中国人不仅仅是烹饪和出售食物，还会提升它们的味道。

China is the place to go to get food shock a dozen times a day. "You can eat that?" will become the intrepid food traveler's daily refrain. China's regional cuisines are so varied it's hard to believe they're from the same nation. It's not a food culture you can easily summarize, except to say you'll invariably want seconds.

在中国一天会因为食物被惊讶到几十次。“这玩意儿能吃？”会成为勇敢的旅行食客每天都会重复的台词。中国各个地区的菜肴种类太繁多了，以至于很难相信它们是来自同一国度。这不是一个你可以轻易总结的饮食文化，只不过你总是想再来一份。

1. Italy 意大利

Italian food has enslaved tastebuds around the globe for centuries, with its zesty tomato sauces, those clever things they do with wheat flour and desserts that are basically vehicles for cream. It's all so simple. Get some noodles, get some olive oil, get some garlic, maybe a tomato or a slice of bacon. Bam, you have a party on a plate. And it is all so easy to cook and eat.

无处不在的番茄酱，花样繁多的面食和各种奶油甜点，数世纪以来，意大利菜已经在全世界俘获了众多味蕾。一切都是那么简单。整点面条，再整点橄榄油，来点大蒜，或许再加个番茄或者一片培根。噔噔噔噔~一盘子美食做好了。而且烹制和食用起来都很简单。
