There are times when all you want to eat is something simple. I know for some people that might just be a peanut butter and Smucker's sandwich on Wonderloaf, but, for others, it might be an Oscar Meyer hotdog on a bun.
有时候你就是想吃点简单的。我知道对有些人来说,可能只是一块花生酱配Schmucker's果酱夹在Wonder牌白面包里,但对另一些人来说,可能是一块Oscar牌热狗面包。
For me, the one that I needed today, was, er, could have been, just a simple bologna and cheese...but I never do anything QUITE that simply. For me, it was a fluffy kaiser roll with mortadella and colby cheese. A nice swirl of mayo filled the void where Salad Cream should have gone, and a spoon of piccalilli gave it a sour crunch.
对我来说,今天我需要的,呃,本可以是,仅仅是一夹牛肉肠和奶酪的简单三明治……但我从来不会做得那么简单。对我来说,是一个蓬松的凯撒面包,夹上意式香肠和科尔比奶酪。蛋黄酱在沙拉酱本该存在的地方形成了漂亮的漩涡,一勺腌菜末提供了酸脆的口感。
Had I any Miracle Whip, this would be the only application for that condiment that I would ever use.
如果我有奇迹酱(Miracle Whip),这将是这调味料我唯一会用的场合。
Sadly, salad cream is nearly impossible to get over here. All my usual suppliers have stopped offering it.
可悲的是,沙拉酱在这里几乎买不到。我所有的常规供应商都停止提供它了。
And, again, Miracle Whip usually fits the bill, because it is, salad cream mixed with mayo. But I didn't have any because it had been a very long time since this particular craving had taken me.
而且,再次强调,奇迹酱通常能顶替,因为它是沙拉酱混合蛋黄酱。但我没有,因为这次馋虫发作已经隔了很久了。
The piccalilli was just a fortunate bonus because, again, it is almost impossible to get over here. I found some at an international market. I typically prefer Chow Chow Piccalilli, which is hotter and more sour than the Branston version. But the Branston one was all I had and it has a sour sweetness which helped the mayo seem more like the missing salad cream.
那腌菜末纯属幸运的额外加成,因为同样,这里也几乎买不到。我是在一家国际超市找到的。我通常更喜欢奇乌奇乌牌腌菜末,它比布兰斯顿牌更辣、更酸。但布兰斯顿牌是我唯一的选项,它的酸甜味帮助蛋黄酱更像缺失的沙拉酱。
Unfortunately, this sandwich is best with a handful of Fritos but I had none of those either. No other substitutions are possible.
不幸的是,这三明治最好配上一把费斯托斯薯片(Fritos),但我也没有。其他任何替代品都不行。
Amusingly, I don't typically have a sandwich for lunch. I either don't have lunch or have something like a hotdog. But I woke up uncharacteristically early this morning and had a pastrami and horseradish cheddar cheese sandwich for breakfast which was very small and it left me hungry in the afternoon. This wasn't surprising since I hardly ate any of my dinner last night, as my previous posts mentioned.
有趣的是,我平时午餐通常不吃三明治。我要么不吃午饭,要么吃热狗之类的。但今天早上我意外地醒得很早,早餐吃了个帕斯雀牛肉配辣根切达奶酪三明治,分量很小,结果下午又饿了。这也不奇怪,因为我昨晚几乎没怎么吃晚饭,就像我之前发的帖子提到的那样。
I wonder what I'll have for dinner tonight?
我在想今晚晚餐吃什么呢?
