2 Cultural Baptism 文化洗礼
美国饮食特点
居家过日子的美国人买的食品都很简单。一袋面包,一罐饮料,一袋胡萝卜,几个洋葱,偶尔也有人买一盘牛肉的。他们极少用调味品,用得最多的是沙拉。
美国的餐馆一般规模不大,都收拾得干干净净,而且食品种类并不很多。有人总结美国饭的特点,一是生,牛排带血丝;二是冷,凡是饮料都加冰块;三是甜,这当然是中国人依自己的口味做出的评判,不过倒也切中要害。事实上,美国人吃饭注重的是营养,而不是口味,一般美国人也不大会做饭。
在美国城乡,咖啡店(兼营冰淇淋)、麦当劳快餐店比比皆是,前者恰似中国四川的茶馆,后者很像杭州小吃店。到咖啡店,喝一杯咖啡一美元多,吃一份冰淇淋二三美元,边吃边聊,十分惬意。美国的冰淇淋堪称一绝,有各式各样的,上面还撒满了脆香的果仁,十分好吃。麦当劳店更是别具一格:远远望去,不论何时何地的“麦当劳”店都有三面旗子在显眼处飘扬,一是美国国旗,一是州旗,一是店旗。不论哪儿的麦当劳店都生意兴隆,一份三明治或热狗,一袋土豆条或爆米花,一杯饮料,加起来才3.99美元(美国商品标价都这样,以零点九九结尾,绝不凑整数,这说明美国商人的精明),何况饮料喝完了再添可不付饯。更有趣的是暑假期间,店里都是雇用一群十二三岁的女学生,那满脸稚气认真干活的神态,令人喜爱。若遇到假日,顾客较多,这帮女孩身着制服,头戴运动帽,还戴上一副耳机外加一只小话筒,不时地操作与联络,那认真的劲头好像军队总司令在指挥一场战斗。
