这些典型的英国食物其实是从外国来的，包括番茄酱、必发达金酒和炸鱼薯条 [英国媒体]

-------------译者：carpediemzss-审核者：龙腾翻译总管------------

'It's as British as fish and chips' - that's what we might say if something is truly representative of the United Kingdom.

“就跟英国的炸鱼薯条那样普遍”-如果什么东西可以代表英国的话，我们可能会这样形容。

But the well-worn saying is in fact inaccurate - as fish and chips aren't British at all.

但这句快用烂的俗语实际上是不准确的，因为炸鱼薯条并不是英国的。

The dish is one of a handful of quintessentially British foods and drinks that actually hail from foreign lands.

作为英国几个典型的食物和饮品之一的这道菜，实际上来自外国。

From ketchup to the British brands that now have overseas owners these are the very surprising items that don't hail from the Isles.

从番茄酱到现在拥有海外所有者的英国品牌，这些令人感到惊喜的东西都不是来自大不列颠岛屿的。

FISH AND CHIPS 

炸鱼薯条



Fish and chips is actually an immigrant dish. 

炸鱼薯条其实是道移民菜。

Fish and chips was brought to British shores in the 17th century when Jewish settlers brought the recipe over from Portugal and Spain the research by Wren Kitchens has found.

Wren Kitchens的研究发现，在十七世纪时，当犹太移民把这道食谱从葡萄牙和西班牙带过来时，炸鱼薯条也随之被带到了英国海岸。

They battered fish on the streets from huge trays which they hung round their necks.

他们在街上用挂在脖子上的巨大托盘盛着被（湿面团）包裹着的鱼。

But there's a famous feud as to who opened the first official fish and chip shop. 

但这里有一个着名的争执，那就是谁开了第一家炸鱼薯条店？

Many credit a Jewish immigrant called Joseph Malin as the man who started the national craze for the dish in east London in 1860. 

许多人相信是一位名叫Joseph Malin的犹太移民，在1860年的东伦敦掀起了这道全国性菜肴的热潮。

But others claim a northerner named John Lees was the first selling his fish and chips from a wooden hut in Lancashire. 

但也有人声称是一个叫John Lees的北方人最先在他兰开夏郡的一个木屋开始卖炸鱼薯条的。

KETCHUP

番茄酱



Ketchup is basically a national sauce in Britain. 

番茄酱可以说是英国国家级的酱了。

However it doesn't hail from the Isles - and neither is it American.

然而它并不是来自不列颠群岛，也不是美国。

Long before Heinz came along the precursor to ketchup was invented in 17th century China.

很久以前海因茨就带来了在17世纪中国发明的番茄酱的前身。

But instead of using tomatoes as a base for the sauce it was made from the brine of pickled fish. 

但采用做腌鱼的卤水来取代原本要用番茄来做这道酱汁的原料。

The sauce became a staple at tables across Indonesia and Malaysia and it wasn't long before English colonists became hooked too. 

这种酱成了印度尼西亚和马来西亚餐桌上的主食，不久后英国殖民者也开始喜欢上了。

Eventually the sauce morphed into the tomato-based ketchup we know and love today. 

最后，这种酱就逐渐演变成了现在我们都知道和喜爱的用番茄为原料做成的番茄酱。

TEA

茶

Despite the fact the British climate is nowhere near hot enough to grow tea leaves some people believe that the classic cup of tea was invented in the UK even so as it has become a symbol of the country.

尽管事实上英国的气候还不足够温暖让它种植茶叶，有些人却认为传统茶饮是在英国发明的，因为它已经成为这个国家的象征。

But in fact it was the Chinese who invented tea. The myth goes that the Chinese emperor Shennong discovered the drink almost 5000 years ago when some tea leaves blew into a pot of boiling water he was about to drink from. 

但实际上，茶是中国人发明的。传说，中国皇帝神农在大约5000年前就发现了这种饮品，当时正好有一些茶叶被吹进他正要喝的一壶开水中。

The concoction quickly became an integral part of Chinese medicine and over the centuries tea was adopted around the world.

这种调和物很快成为中国医学的一个组成部分。几个世纪以来，茶被世界各国所接受。

Most of the tea drunk in Britain today doesn't actually come from China or India but Mombasa and Kenya. 

实际上在今日的英国，大多数饮用茶并不来自中国或印度，而是来自蒙巴萨和肯尼亚。

BEEFEATER GIN

必发达金酒



The London Dry Gin was of course first distilled in London in 1876 and still is to this day. 

当然，伦敦金酒最初是在1876年在伦敦蒸馏而成的，而且仍保留至今。

However the company is no longer a British one - despite its name referring to the famous Yeoman Warders of the Tower of London. 

然而这个公司已不再是英国的了 --尽管它的名字是着名的伦敦塔御用皇家侍卫的意思。

Beefeater was bought by Paris-based Pernod Ricard in 2005.

在2005年，位于巴黎的保乐力加公司收购了必发达金酒。

However Beefeater still has no less than nine distilleries in London one of which has a visitor centre dedicated to the tipple. 

但必发达金酒在伦敦仍拥有着不下9个酿酒厂，其中一个还拥有着一个专供烈性酒的游客中心。

WALKERS CRISPS 

步行者薯片
               


Walkers Crisps was famously founded in Leicester in 1948 and to this day its crisps are made in the city with the factory producing 11 million packets a day.

步行者薯片于1948年在莱斯特成立，时至今日在这所城市的制造工厂，每天仍可以生产1100万包。

But after 40 years in business Walkers was bought by the American-based Frito-Lay a division of the multinational PepsiCo. 

但在40年后，步行者薯片的业务就被跨国公司百事旗下位于美国的菲多利公司收购。

Borrowing from the iconic Walkers logo Lay's Crisps are sold across the US and Europe and in other global regions they are sold under a variety of different names.

借用步行者标志性的徽标，乐事的薯片销往美国和欧洲。在全球其他地区，它们以各种不同的名称进行出售。

CADBURY'S CHOCOLATE

吉百利的巧克力

Cadbury's chocolate was of course one of Britain's proudest exports. 

吉百利的巧克力当然是英国最骄傲的出口产品之一。

But the world-famous chocolate brand founded in 1824 in Birmingham has not been truly British for many decades now.

但是，这个1824年在伯明翰成立的世界知名巧克力品牌，数十年来并不真正属于英国。

It was first acquired by Swiss drinks manufacturer Schweppes in 1969 who dropped the 's' from Cadbury's in 2003 before selling the company in 2007.

它于1969年首先被瑞士饮料制造商史威士收购，史威士公司在2003年把“吉百利的巧克力”中的“的”去掉，之后于2007年出售该公司。

American-based Kraft Foods then bought Cadbury for ￡11.5 billion. The confectionary business of Kraft then became Mondelez International which also owns Toblerone.

美国卡夫食品公司用115亿英镑买下吉百利，之后卡夫的糖果产业更名为亿滋国际，同时也拥有瑞士三角巧克力。

Today The Hershey Company manufactures and distributes Cadbury products across the US. However the brand still has roots planted deep in Birmingham. 

如今好时公司在美国各地制造并经销卡夫公司的产品。然而这个品牌仍然根深蒂固于伯明翰。

Here they always serve fish and chips with malt vinegar (on the side). Is that a thing in England? Just curious.

在这里他们在提供炸鱼薯条时总是配上麦芽醋，那是英国的东西吗？只是好奇而已。

肉汁在这里是用来搭配热猪肉馅饼的，真是太恶心了。

'Instead of using tomatoes as a base for the sauce it was made from the brine of pickled fish. Eventually the sauce morphed into the tomato-based ketchup we know and love today.' - Ketchup or Catsup as it was originally known was not the sauce we know today. You can thank Heinz for the tomato variety that we now associate the name Ketchup with and they also promoted that name. Therefore its true to say that tomato Ketchup as we know it originated in America. Fifty years ago most Brits didn't use the word Ketchup anyway. It was know as Tomato Sauce. 

“但采用做腌鱼的卤水来取代原本要用番茄来做这道酱汁的原料。”“最后，这种酱就逐渐演变成了现在我们都知道和喜爱的用番茄为原料做成的番茄酱。”——最初的番茄酱与我们现在所熟知的Ketchup不是同一种。你应该感谢Heniz的番茄品种造就了现如今的汉斯番茄酱并以此提高了该品牌的知名度。所以可以说Ketchup是来源于美国。50年前，英国人根本就没使用过Ketchup这个词。那个时候是叫番茄酱。

Farmer Giles
Well slap my thigh: I didn't realise that tea didn't originate from Yorkshire. 

哎呀，我拍了拍大腿：没想到茶不是来自约克郡啊。

Ketchup is for povvos the real connoisseur dips his chips in HP. 

Ketchup是穷人用的，真正的行家都是用薯片蘸HP沙司酱。

Cooper
Not only has no-one ever considered ketchup as British the term is incorrect. A ketchup does not have to be made from tomatoes. I recall my Gran making mushroom ketchup from the skins and stalks of the wild mushrooms we collected.

不仅没有人认为番茄酱是英国人，更别说还把它的含义给弄错了。所谓的ketchup并不一定是要用番茄做的。我记得我奶奶就用我们收集到的蘑菇的皮和茎做了（mushroom ketchup）蘑菇酱。

When did anybody ever claim that ketchup was British? Stupid article.

Lets do an expose on the 'great British curry' Tandoori from 1960s Glasgow Vindaloo originally a Portuguese recipe meat dishes not really being part of Indian cuisine because most folk over there are vegetarian and the word 'curry' not having any real meaning at all in South East Asia.

让我们从20世纪60年代的“伟大的英国咖喱”Tandoori出现开始，Glasgow Vindaloo原本是葡萄牙食谱中的一道肉类菜肴，真的不是印度菜的一部分，因为印度大多数人民是素食主义者，而且“咖喱”一词在东南亚根本没有任何实际的意义。

Walkers crisps are great but have you tried the Leys? I've had them in a couple of countries and they are not a patch on Walkers even though it's the same company. I think it must be the oil they are fried in the Leys are so greasy.

步行者薯片很棒，但你有没有试过利斯薯条？我在好几个国家尝过它们，尽管来自同一家企业，但根本替代不了步行者薯片。我认为是炸利斯薯片的油太过油腻了。

Try Seabrook crisps. Amazing and miles better than walkers.

试试西布鲁克薯片。甩步行者薯片十几条街。

Most things we see today were not invented by the British but were stolen ideas and patented as such.

Who is this imaginary group you refer to as "we"? Brits already got the unfair reputation for going round the world with superior technology and shooting brown people armed only with spears you can't have it both ways snowflake.

你指的“我们”是指什么？英国人已经因为给全世界带去先进的技术、攻击只装备长矛的棕色人种而背负不公正的声誉。这两者不可兼得。

Is there anything at all this is British anymore? Seems to me that this country has been constantly infiltrated with British haters and they are doing everything possible to destroy the British way of life I just don't get why they come here if they hate us so much and what do they think will be left of the country they wanted to live in is finally destroyed.

现在还有什么东西是英国的吗？在我看来，这个国家已经被厌恶英国的人不断渗透，他们正在尽一切可能破坏英国人的生活方式，我不明白如果他们那么很我们，为什么要到这里？自己想居住的国家最后被摧毁，不得不离开这个国家，他们对此是咋想的啊。

For years as a child I was told how good British fish and chips were as well as the beer. My first visit to the UK (1984) was a huge disappointment. Been several times since can never understand why anybody would ever want to live there. Ripped off over-taxed and servants to the wealthy and the banks.

很多年前，我还是个孩子时就被告知英国的炸鱼薯条和啤酒一样好。然而1984我第一次去英国却大失所望。我想了很多次但还是不能理解为什么会有人想要住在那里。被高税压榨，被有钱人和银行奴役。

Sam -> Sam
Seriously Frank!! 20% tax at 45k 40% above that. Council Tax average about GBP1500. Fuel Tax about 60%. 20% VAT on what they are gracious enough to leave you to spend. Average income 27k/year average house price 200k. I'll leave you to do the maths. Those that sit around and do nothing get looked after those that work hard are seen as cash cows.

说句大实话！收入在45k以内收20%的税，超过45k的则收40%的税。家庭税平均值约gbp1500。燃油税约60%。再去掉20%的增值税，他们仁慈的留下些资本勉强够你消费。平均收入每年27k而平均房价为200K。我就让你算算这些数字。那些无所事事的人得到了照顾，那些辛勤工作的人则被视为摇钱树。
