2.巧克力 chocolate
麦丽素的英文原名其实是Maltesers,梁丰食品集团生产后将这种糖果取名为Mylikes,而“麦丽素”就是Mylikes的中文谐音。现在可以找到各种牌子的麦丽素,但觉得还是梁丰的最好吃,认准红包装嘿嘿。
儿时的巧克力除了麦丽素外,印象深刻的还有金币巧克力(chocolate coins)和酒心巧克力(wine filled chocolates)。
关于麦丽素:
Maltesers were created by Forrest Mars, Sr. in 1936, and first sold in 1937. They were originally described as "energy balls" and aimed at slimming women.
1936年,美国人弗瑞斯特-玛氏(著名的M&M巧克力也是由玛氏家族出品的)发明了麦丽素,麦丽素最早被称为 “能量球”,面向想要减肥的女性。
Maltesers consist of a roughly spherical malt honeycomb center, surrounded by milk chocolate.
麦丽素里面是个像蜂窝一样的麦芽球,外面包裹着一层巧克力。
