前幾天跟朋友去吃了一次蔬菜沙拉。做的很精致,但并不合我的口味,但朋友很喜歡。
今天閑暇之際研究一下“沙拉”的來源:
google了一下"define:沙拉"
沙拉(香港稱為沙律)通常是配菜,有時會作為一道主菜。?
不詳細,在answers.com找了一下:
Originally?derived?from?the?Latin?sal?
for
?salt,?meaning?something?dipped?into?salt.?Now?normally?a?dish?of?uncooked?vegetables;?either?a?mixed?salad?or?just?one?item?(commonly?lettuce?or?tomato).?
的確,我們吃的都是卷心菜(當時我以為卷心菜就是生菜 -_-|||)和小西紅柿。
食物文化百科:
Although?the?ancient?Greeks?and?Romans?did?not?use?the?word?"salad,"?they?enjoyed?a?variety?of?dishes?with?raw?vegetables?dressed?with?vinegar,?oil,?and?herbs.?Pliny?the?Elder?in?Natural?History,?for?instance,?reported?that?salads?(acetaria)?were?composed?of?those?garden?products?that?"needed?no?fire?for?cooking?and?saved?fuel,?and?which?were?a?resource?to?store?and?always?ready"?(Natural?History,?XIX,?58).?They?were?easy?to?digest?and?were?not?calculated?to?overload?the?senses?or?stimulate?the?appetite.

...........最終,我在懷疑是不是中國涼拌傳入西方之后變味了的結果。
