Have you ever stopped to think about how breakfast differs in other countries? Although grains and fruit make cameos in most regions, the exact meals can actually vary quite a bit — not just in the type of foods served, but also in the quantity. After all, breakfast may not be the most important meal of the day. Sure, we need to consume calories early to fuel the rest of our waking hours, but a large breakfast would probably put most of us to sleep before lunchtime.
你有想过其它国家的早餐与自己国家的早餐有什么不同吗?尽管大多数地区的早餐含有谷物和水果,但确切来说这些早餐大不相同——不仅仅是食物的类型,而且还在于食物的份量。毕竟,早餐不一定是每天最重要的一餐。当然,我们需要早一点摄入卡路里来给接下来醒着的时光供给能量,但大份早餐可能会让我们大多数人在午餐前就想睡觉了。
ARGENTINA
阿根廷
Breakfast in Argentina is a no-frills affair. You’ll find locals typically eating one of two things: tostados (toast) or medialunas ("half-moons"), which are pastries similar to croissants but a smaller and sweeter. Of course, these are typically eaten with coffee.
阿根廷的早餐十分简单。你会发现当地人通常都会吃这一两种早餐:吐司或牛角面包,这是种点心,类似法国的牛角面包,但比法国的更小更甜。当然,通常来说,人们还会喝咖啡。
BRAZIL
巴西
While Brazilians enjoy some traditional breakfast foods — such as eggs, toast, cereal, and fresh fruit — locals usually pass on heavy or rich dishes featuring an abundance of meat, loads of cheese, and other things that could pass as dessert. Aside from lots of fruit, favorite dishes instead include pão d’água (bread that’s crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside), creamy polenta, and banana sponge cake. Breakfast is generally on the light side, because lunch is actually seen as the most important meal of the day.
虽然巴西人喜欢一些传统的早餐——比如说鸡蛋、吐司、麦片和新鲜水果——当地人通常不吃太隆重或太丰盛的早餐(这些早餐的特点是含有很多肉、奶酪和其它可以当作甜点的早餐。)除了很多水果外,其它受人喜欢的早餐包括起司球面包(pão d’água)(外脆里Q的面包),奶油玉米和香蕉海绵蛋糕。早餐通常比较简单,因为人们认为午餐才是一天中最重要的一顿。
