Body Chapter 748 What is a Sandwich?
No matter what kind of melancholy the lady becomes, Xiao Peng is in a good mood now, and Emilia is also in a good mood, except for the fact that it is not convenient to walk and hang on Xiao Peng, everything is fine.
Xiao Peng said goodbye to the Elmers, and the three continued their journey. Gordon and they hadn't gotten up yet, Xiao Peng glanced over and wanted to say goodbye to them, but found that the four of them were sleeping in the same bed together, tsk, it's too unbearable, despise it!
Well, Xiao Peng has forgotten about washing himself and lying on the bed waiting for them yesterday, which is called selective amnesiaγγγγγγ
Be sure to have a good breakfast before hitting the road. So the three of them pulled up in front of a fast-food restaurant, and if Ivan was here, they would have exclaimed, "Isn't this where we just had breakfast?"
After Xiao Peng's good mood arrived at the cafΓ©, it disappeared completely, to be precise, he was already crazy, and the cause of his madness turned out to be: sandwiches!
Sandwiches are now a common food, two slices of bread with a few slices of meat and cheese, and a variety of spices, the simple way to eat, its history is almost as old as bread, but it was not until the 13th century that the name 'sandwich' was born.
Sandwiches are the absolute most dominant of the cuisines, and through the creative hands of chefs, this simple delicacy has evolved from a combination of meat, cheese and bread to a unique culinary art form. It is no exaggeration to say that each state here has its own unique taste of special sandwiches.
And the reason that drove Xiao Peng crazy turned out to be: he didn't recognize what a sandwich was!
Yes, this is really not a joke, Xiao Peng now feels that identifying sandwiches in the Stars and Stripes Country is as difficult as distinguishing the authenticity of antiques in Huaxia!
Xiao Peng didn't get tired after a hard morning? He simply ordered a lot of various delicacies, and then he encountered the biggest puzzle in his life: What does a sandwich look like? Xiao Peng is now a little skeptical about life.
In Xiao Peng's eyes, sandwiches are triangular sandwich snacks, but after arriving here, Xiao Peng found that he was very wrong. The truth is not as simple as Xiao Peng thought. Burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches. Xiao Peng was stupid and couldn't tell the difference.
"Alacey, are you sure you're not kidding me? Are you sure it's a sandwich and not a hot dog?" Xiao Peng said with a long sandwich bread in his hand.
Emilia shook her head and said, "Aresie really didn't lie to you, this is really not a hot dog, this is a sandwich." β
Xiao Peng said confusedly: "Isn't a hamburger just two round breads on top and bottom, a sandwich is a triangular bread on both sides, and a hot dog is a long bread filling?
Emilia laughed, "Of course you're wrong, and you couldn't be more wrong. Sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs are really not divided like that. β
Xiao Peng was speechless: "Then how should you distinguish it?"
Emilia pointed to the long bread in Xiao Peng's hand and said: "You call it a lobster roll sandwich, it is a way to eat it in Maine, it looks very similar to a hot dog, because it is a long loaf of bread, but this is indeed a sandwich, it is very simple, only the food with sausages sandwiched in the long bread is called a hot dog, so there is lobster meat in it and no sausage, so it is a sandwich." In addition to the Maine lobster roll sandwich, the same is true for the submarine sandwich, which is the kind of strip sandwich found in Subway. β
"Aren't all sandwiches triangular?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.
"Of course not! There are all kinds of shapes, strips, rounds, squares, rectangulars. Even the Kentucky Hot Brown sandwich comes in a spoon. Emilia replied.
Xiao Peng picked up another piece of meat bread on the table: "What about this? This must be a hamburger, right?" Xiao Peng swore to the chairman, the meat piece bread he was holding in his hand was exactly the same as the hamburger sold in KFC, vegetables, salad dressing, meatloaf, breadγγγγγγ
As a result, Emilia shook her head again: "It's a pity, you guessed wrong, it's still a sandwich." β
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: "Why is this a sandwich again? Is it obviously a hamburger, what is the difference between them?"
Emilia said, "Stuffing." β
"Stuffing?" Xiao Peng didn't understand.
"Yes, it's the stuffing, it's called a hamburger if it's made with ground meat pies, and it's called a sandwich if it's made with whole meat. Emilia explained: "Actually, it's normal for you to not be able to tell the difference, often Asians just come here and don't get used to it, go to a fast food restaurant to eat, ask the clerk if they have hamburgers, but the clerk says no, and the Asians point to someone else's sandwich and say, "Isn't that there?" The clerk replied to him: It's called a sandwich. This is a joke in the Stars and Stripes. β
Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this: "It probably means that you can't tell the difference between dumplings and wontons when you arrive in Huaxia." This is a cultural difference, after all, Chinese people don't eat hamburger sandwiches very often. β
Emilia smiled, "I don't know what dumplings and ravioli are, but I guess that's what you said." Anyway, you have to remember that a long strip of bread with sausages is called a hot dog, and a meat pie with a meat pie is called a burger, and it doesn't have to be sandwiched with bread, for example, a ramen burger is a meat pie sandwiched with ramen. No matter what shape it is, as long as it is sandwiched between a whole patty or a slice of meat, it is called a sandwich!"
Xiao Peng summed it up: "To put it simply, no matter what ingredients are used, no matter what kind of meat is sandwiched, no matter how many layers are made, as long as you use ground meatloaf, it is a hamburger?"
Emilia nodded, "That's it." β
Xiao Peng thought about it, but suddenly shook his head: "No, we had a tuna burger when we were in Santa Monica, and there were tuna slices in it, according to what you said, it should be called a tuna sandwich, not a tuna burger." β
Emilia smiled: "Many merchants are willing to call it that, maybe just to be higher, in fact, many local gourmets have expressed their dissatisfaction with their professionalism about this matter, but later investigated, most of the people who like to eat this tuna burger are Asians, which is easy to understand." β
"Ugh. All right. Emilia's words really made him speechless, if Xiao Peng ran to a fast food restaurant and saw a tuna sandwich written on it, the first thing that came to mind was a small triangular bun, and if he saw a sandwich hamburger written on it, the picture instantly came out: round, bulgingγγγγγγ Knowingly, Xiao Peng also buys hamburgers instead of sandwiches, even though it's actually sandwiches and not burgers.
Emilia laughs, "Theoretically, if you put a whole turkey in bread, that's also called a turkey sandwich." β
Xiao Peng imagined the picture for a while, tsk, the picture is too beautiful to imagine, what does it matter to him, it's delicious.
Emilia said with a smile: "Stars and Stripes love sandwiches, many people mention Californian food, the first thing that comes to mind is a variety of Mexican food, after all, this originally belonged to Mexico, and Mexican-style restaurants are everywhere, but in fact, Californians also like to eat sandwiches, such as the famous LKE'splace, known as the best sandwich in Los Angeles, their family provides 75 kinds of sandwiches, and the sandwich names over there are very interesting, what 'we're just friends',' Sorry stupid' or something, if you just look at the name, you can't guess what kind of sandwich it isγγγγγγ There's also the 'Philip Sandwich', his beef and lamb sandwiches are really perfect, the beef is marinated for 48 hours, the bread is crispy, and it is covered in roast beef gravy, and many people drive hours from other cities to eat it, and they have to queue up almost every dayγγγγγγ As she spoke, Emilia's saliva was about to flow.
Xiao Peng looked at Emilia with a resentful expression: "Why didn't you tell me these when we were in Los Angeles? 75 kinds of sandwiches, can I give him all at once?"
Emilia was embarrassed and said, "I didn't know you would like to eat these fast foods." β
Xiao Peng was speechless after hearing this: "I really don't like to eat it very much, but it's always okay to taste it, have you ever tasted it?"
Emilia became interested: "yes, I love to eat them all, and I especially like their 'sorry stupid' sandwiches. It tastes great!" Emilia's eyes lit up as she spoke.
Xiao Peng looked at Emilia directly, and Emilia was embarrassed by him: "Why do you look at me like this?"
"I just want to know, you love to eat so much, where do you eat so many things? Xiao Peng said.
Alacy patted her forehead: "What about the two of you?" consider the emotions of the single woman next to you. I regret bringing you all together. β
Emilia listened, and nudged Alysie in anger. Xiao Peng took a big sandwich and handed it to Alacy: "Eat hard, can't you stop your mouth when you eat?"
Alaxi exaggeratedly said, "God, punish these bastards who have no conscience!"
Emilia hurriedly grabbed Arecy's arm: "Okay, Alacy, don't be angry, it's always okay for you to be our witnesses when we get married, right?"
"Ahem, ahem, ahemγγγγγγ This sentence scared Xiao Peng, why are you going to get married? You're only 18 years old, right?
Emilia looked at Xiao Peng: "What, dear, are you scared like this when it comes to getting married?"
"Ugh. No, it isn't. Xiao Peng hurriedly waved his hand: "It's just that you're not old enough to get married, right?"
Emilia smiled: "I'm a Russian-American New Yorker. You can get married at the age of 14 in New York. β
"Hat?" Xiao Peng was dumbfounded.
Emilia continued, "Most states in the Stars and Stripes have a rule that you can get married at the age of eighteen or even lower, and even if you don't allow marriage at the age of eighteen, you can go to the states where you can get married at the age of fourteen. Because each state here recognizes the registration of marriages in other states. β
Xiao Peng suddenly felt a big thunderbolt on a sunny day directly on his head. Why? It's like you're playing with yourself?
Suddenly, Xiao Peng's face changed: "You eat first, I'll go out to smoke a cigarette." Before the second daughter came back to her senses, Xiao Peng had already walked out of the fast food restaurant, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Only the two girls looked at each other, "Uh, did this scare him away?" asked Amilia.
"Probably notγγγγγγ "Aresi isn't sure eitherγγγγγγ
