Basic introduction Chinese name: Five major Western fast food nicknames: bread, sandwich, hamburger, hot dog and pizza Category: soft bread and hard bread Shape: long, round, rectangular, stick and flower-shaped bread, sandwich, hamburger, hot dog, pizza, Bread Someone once asked Einstein: "What is the greatest invention in the world?" He replied without hesitation: "Bread!" Bread was invented by the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians. Initially, they mixed flour with water and salt to make bread, but because the dough was not fermented, the bread was dry and hard. Later, the Egyptians accidentally placed the mixed dough in the sun. After the dough was heated, it fermented on its own. At this time, the dough was baked on the fire, and the bread became soft and delicious. Later, the Egyptian bread fermentation technology was introduced to Greece and Rome. In the 5th century BC, professional bread workshops appeared in some European cities. In the 14th century AD, bread ovens were invented in Europe, which greatly reduced the labor intensity of making bread. In the 17th century, the Dutchman Leeuwenhoek discovered yeast. Since then, the method of making bread fermented by yeast has become popular in Europe. Since the 18th century, with the emergence of machines and electricity, bread production has entered the industrial era of mechanization and automation. Bread can be divided into salty bread and sweet bread according to taste. It can be divided into staple bread and snack bread according to its use. It can be divided into long, round, rectangular, stick and flower-shaped bread according to its shape. It can be divided into whole wheat according to its raw materials. , rye, potato, cottonseed protein and other breads, which can be divided into milk, jam, vitamins, glucose, meat sandwich and other breads according to additives. When making soft bread, you need to put the fermented dough into a baking tin of a certain shape and bake it in the oven. When making hard bread, you don't need to bake the dough. You only need to knead the bread dough into a certain shape directly. Place on a baking sheet, let rise and then bake in the oven. In recent years, with the strengthening of people's health awareness, many new faces have appeared in the bread family, such as soy bread, vegetable bread, mushroom bread, student lunch bread and so on. In order to make the bread delicious, beautiful and nutritious, people put a lot of thought into the shape of the bread, and deliberately added various things to the bread or found ways to change the filling of the bread, but in the end they still couldn't get rid of it. Bread as it is. Sandwich Sandwich is actually a kind of bread with fillings, which is now widely popular in Western countries. There is an interesting story about the origin of the sandwich. Sandwich Sandwich is an unknown town in southeastern England. In the 18th century, there was an Earl named John Montagu in the town, who loved to play cards. He was addicted to card games all day long, to the point where he forgot to eat and sleep. It was difficult for the servant to serve him food, so he put some dishes, eggs and sausages between two pieces of bread and let him eat while playing cards. Unexpectedly, Montagu was overjoyed when he saw this kind of food, and casually called it a "sandwich". When he was hungry, he would shout: "Bring a sandwich!" Other gamblers also followed suit and ate sandwiches while playing cards. Come. Soon, the sandwich spread throughout the British Isles, to continental Europe, and later to the United States. Today's sandwiches are no longer the same variety as they were in the past. It has developed many new varieties.

For example, there are "nightclub sandwiches" with chicken or turkey slices, bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes; there are "Lauben sandwiches" with corned beef, Swiss cheese, pickles, and Russian toppings on brown bread; and there are fish sandwiches. "Tea Sandwiches" made with soy sauce, cucumber, watercress, and tomatoes. In the Scandinavian countries, sandwiches no longer have bread slices on top, but are instead covered with delicate fish, meat slices and salad. In France, slices of bread are often no longer used when making sandwiches, but rolls or rolls are used instead. Sandwiches have become one of the major fast food foods in the West today. Hamburger Many things in the world are caused by a combination of circumstances, and the emergence of hamburgers is one of them. This popular fast food did not originate from the German burger, but was the accidental masterpiece of an American chef. Hamburger In the early 19th century, on a passenger ship named "Hamburg America" ??sailing from Europe to the United States, an American chef was sent to cook for the German immigrants on the ship. Because he didn't understand the German food customs but didn't want to ask, he took it upon himself to mix the beef, onions and bread crumbs available on the ship to make meatloaf, then sandwich it between the bread and send it to the restaurant. The Germans were full of praise after eating this unprecedented delicacy, and asked the chef for advice on how to prepare it. After landing, the German immigrants made this food to some Americans. After eating it, the Americans also thought it tasted very good and thought it was created by the Germans. But when people asked what the name of this food was, the Germans couldn't answer. So someone named it "Hamburger" after the ship that German immigrants took at that time. In 1835, Charlie Naglin set up a workshop in Wisconsin, USA, specializing in the production of hamburgers, pioneering the commercialization of hamburgers in the United States. In 1955, McDonald's fast food company, which specializes in hamburgers, opened. Due to its exquisite materials and unified standards, the sales of hamburgers increased significantly. A typical American hamburger is made by cutting the hot baked bread horizontally, then adding a piece of freshly fried beef patty, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, etc., and then eating it while it is hot. In New York, some people put onions, garlic and ketchup on hamburgers. In Japan, locals like to put a piece of chicken patty in their hamburger. People in some countries also like to put fish in hamburgers and pour soy sauce on them. Hot dog Hot dog is not boiled hot dog meat, but the Chinese translation of hot dog, a Western fast food. The predecessor of hot dog is "Frankfurter sausage". It appeared in the beer halls of Frankfurt, Germany in the 18th century and was sold as an appetizer. Hot Dogs In 1893, at the World's Fair in Chicago, a German immigrant made a surprise move by putting hot Frankfurter mortadella in a bun and selling it. This kind of food, which is neither hot to the touch nor oily, became very popular as soon as it was put on the market and attracted many visitors to rush to buy it. Not long after, a polo match was held somewhere in the United States, and a vendor imitated the practice of German immigrants and sold a pug-shaped sausage in a bun. After seeing this, the painter Thomas Dow was inspired and drew a cartoon titled "Hot Dog" and published it in the newspaper. In an instant, the name "hot dog" spread like wildfire throughout the United States. In 1916, the first standard hot dog shop in the United States opened in New York. Since then, hot dog fast food has gradually become popular in the United States. Today, the sausages in American hot dogs include beef, pork and poultry. According to statistics, Americans consume an average of 100 hot dogs every year, with a total consumption of more than 1 billion US dollars. The British consume more hot dogs per capita per year, at 110. Pizza, also known as Italian meatloaf, is a fast food that can rival hamburgers in the West. Pizza originated in Naples, Italy, and is one of the most common fast food in Italy. Pizza The diameter of pizza is generally 20 centimeters, but it can be large or small. A large pizza can feed a table of people. The pizza made at home can be determined according to each person's living standards and hobbies. The ingredients can be more or less, coarse or fine, or even no ingredients, just add salty flavor and fry the pizza. Pizza was introduced to the United States with Italian immigrants. The first pizza shop appeared in New York in 1905, and soon it became popular all over the United States.

After World War II, pizza industrial production lines spread all over the United States, and one or two pizza shops could even be found in every village. A typical American farmhouse meal is pizza fried with sausage, bacon, ground beef, oysters, mushrooms, shrimp, peppers, etc. The favorite food of American children is also pizza.
