好久不見,想我嗎?我們今天來看一下四種老外常用到的醬料:sauce, dip, dressing, and relish
🍝sauce (n.) a thick liquid eaten with food to add flavour
💡sauce 是所有醬料的統稱,但根據字典的定義,要成為sauce,你要是 (1) liquid (n.) 液態、液體;(2) thick (adj.) 濃厚的。所以要達到濃縮和液態,食材需要熬煮過,讓食材化成液態。(這邊跟各位抱歉因為找到的圖片裡,沒看到鍋子正在加熱,也沒有看到番茄化成糊,所以送分送分哈哈!)
🧩常搭配的字詞:tomato sauce, sweet chilli sauce, creamy sauce, barbeque sauce (是不是都稠稠的呢?)
🥨dip (n.) a cold, thick sauce that you eat by dipping pieces of uncooked vegetable or biscuits, etc. into it
(v.) to put something into a liquid for a short time
💡dip 特指沾醬,而比起直接淋在食材上食用,dip(或是dipping sauce)是 (1) cold 冷的;(2) goes with uncooked vegetables or biscuits 搭配生菜或餅乾,另外,dip裡面可能也會有塊狀或粒狀的食材,口感上更有層次。
🧩常搭配的字詞:dipping sauce, salsa dip, avocado dip (guacamole), nacho dip
❌順道一提,因為上菜的dipping sauce 都是大家一起共用的,所以跟朋友們一起吃沾醬時,千萬不要double dip喔!
🥗dressing (n.) a liquid mixture, often containing oil, vinegar, and herbs, added to food, especially salads
💡dressing 可以想像成給沙拉穿的洋裝,讓沙拉除了綠色之外,還可以更漂亮的醬料。從英解中我們可以得知dressing是 (1)多種液體的混合(油+醋+香料),也通常會拌入mayonnaise (n.) 美乃滋;(2) 特別用在沙拉。
🧩常搭配的字詞:salad dressing
🌭relish (n.) a thick piquant sauce made from vegetables or fruits, and usually eaten with meat
💡本次的大魔王莫非是relish莫屬了!我們先來看一下高中生把 relish 這個字背成:
(v.) to enjoy an experience or the thought of something that is going to happen (亦可作n. enjoyment)
Ex: I enjoy traveling a lot, but as I grow older, I don’t relish the thought of packing my luggages.
💡relish 則可以讓我們知道,它是一種會讓你更開心的醬料。於是乎,漢堡或是熱狗(肉類食品)裡面的醬料,relish通常在美國指是酸黃瓜醬。
💡piquant (adj.) 氣、味強烈的 要讓醬料刺鼻,吃起來夠勁,通常relish需要用到醃或釀製的手法達成。另外除了黃瓜類可以醃製之外,洋蔥、菜類,還有部分的水果,也可以被做成relish。
