Someone once joked about English food, saying that if there is a book in the world that describes how Britain teaches you to cook, it is blank. When it comes to typical American cuisine, everyone's first reaction is to fry fish and chips, and then "look up at the starry pie", which is enough to prove how lacking British cuisine is.
In fact, the famous "Stargazing School", so far no one can confirm which part of the United States this dish originated from, so some people question that this dish is simply for "black" British food. Then let's not talk about this ingredient. Let's talk about other dark dishes in America. Let's have a look. Are you interested in drilling this English dish?
1, haggis
The first course is another humiliating and famous English dish, Haggis, which is a kind of chop suey itself, stuffed with sheep head meat, including sheep stomach, sheep heart, sheep lung, chicken liver and so on. Although the dish looks ordinary, it is not so scary for China people who are used to eating sewers. The key point is that the aesthetic feeling of this dish is very low after cooking.
Who would want to see a bulging ball served and cut with a knife to reveal the beautiful dark brown mutton offal inside? Not to mention the fishy smell, it is really impossible for people to go down the well. In short, this dish, which makes people feel uncomfortable from food to appearance, is called an irreplaceable mark of British dark cuisine.
2. Eel jelly
The British love eels, but they eat European eels. The eel is delicious, but the food cooked in England is not very good. Eel jelly, which began in 18 century, was originally made by East Londoners.
He put the sliced eel into a pot and cooked it with vinegar. The eel itself will secrete collagen fibers, which will make the soup viscous, then coagulate and turn into a crystal jelly. There is even a sea eel in the middle, which is the sea eel crystal jelly.
3. Cattle, sheep, mutton and kidney pie
It is hard to imagine that it is salty in foreign countries, but it is salty in Britain. Beef and lamb kidneys are just one kind of salty pies. A pie like this has a crust outside and jiaozi inside. They were originally sold on the street, which is conducive to carrying ingredients by hand. /kloc-In the middle and late 8th century, stuffing meat for dinner was a simple and rude dinner. In order to solve the problem of food and clothing quickly, British workers at that time were not very good at pursuing perfection in taste.
4.Mamai sauce
As a specialty of Britain and New Zealand, Mamai sauce is the most difficult sauce to swallow in the United States. Its main component, yeast extract, can be regarded as a by-product after brewing beer. In Britain, the description of Mamai sauce is very polarized. People who love it especially like it, and people who don't like it don't like it very much.
Mamai sauce is dark brown, sticky, salty and has a flavor of extracted yeast. Do you think it's the yeast flavor we use to make steamed bread? Will be a thousand times better than that. Because it is an extract fermented by yeast, its fermented taste is unacceptable.
5. Sussex milk pudding
Compared with the previous staple food, this dessert milk pudding seems to be less spicy. But you underestimate the British talent for food. Even milk pudding, Britain can make you fancy. If you cut the milk pudding, you will find a complete green lemon in it.
Curious, why does Britain always think of ways to stuff the whole green lemon into milk pudding to get the faint fragrance of orange peel, or eat the sour juice of green lemon while eating pudding? In a word, this milk pudding is far beyond many people's imagination. I wonder if you want to eat this green lemon in it. Will you try it?
