吃貨們快看過來，泰國“冰淇淋卷”風靡美國

今年夏天，泰國“冰淇淋卷”風靡美國，一時間吃“冰淇淋卷”也成了一種流行。跟小編一樣的吃貨們~快來看看這篇文章吧!

The weather in the Northern Hemisphere may be getting cooler, but there is still time left to enjoy frozen desserts typical of summer. One of the most traditional warm-weather treats is ice cream -- a frozen mixture of cream, sugar, milk and flavorings.

北半球的天氣變得涼爽起來，不過人們對夏季冷飲的熱情依然沒有褪去。冰淇淋是炎熱夏日的傳統(tǒng)美味——它混合著奶油、糖、牛奶和調(diào)味品。

Many people believe the dessert first became popular in the United States after the wives of early presidents served it in the White House. According to the White House Historical Association, Dolley Madison, the wife of President James Madison, served ice cream there for the first time. That was in the early 1800s.

許多人認為冰淇淋在美國第一次流行起來，是在早期總統(tǒng)的夫人們將這份甜點端上白宮的時候。根據(jù)白宮歷史協(xié)會的說法，美國前總統(tǒng)詹姆斯·麥迪遜的夫人多利·麥迪遜第一次為丈夫做了冰淇淋。那時是19世紀早期。

But ice cream has changed a lot in the last 200 years.

但是冰淇淋在過去的200年間經(jīng)歷了很大的變化。
And now, a new style of ice cream that started in Southeast Asia is spreading in the United States: rolled ice cream.

現(xiàn)在，東南亞一種新式冰淇淋開始在美國流行起來：冰淇淋卷。
This summer, rolled ice cream could be found at street festivals from New York City to Nashville, Tennessee. At Sweet Charlie’s, a store in Philadelphia, customers often wait in line for over two hours to order their rolled ice cream.

今年夏天，從美國紐約到田納西州的納什維爾，大街小巷隨處可見冰淇淋卷的身影。費城的一家冰淇淋店(Sweet Charlie’s)門口常常有顧客排起長隊，人們不惜等候兩個多小時買冰淇淋卷。
Some people call it “Thai stir-fried ice cream.” That is because it looks like it is made on a hot grill, in the same way people cook meat and vegetables.

有人把這種冰淇淋叫做“泰式煎冰淇淋”。這是因為它看起來就像是在烤盤上制作的，就和人們煎肉和蔬菜的方式一樣。

But the grill used for making the treat is actually extremely cold.

但是這個烤盤實際上溫度很低。
The ice cream “chefs” add things like cookies, candy, and even pizza into the ice cream mixture. Then, the ice cream begins to freeze. Next, the chef spreads it in a thin layer over the cold surface. After a few seconds, the chef uses a tool to scrape the ice cream off the cold surface and turn it into a roll. The rolls are then put into a cup and covered with fruit or flavored syrup.

制作冰淇淋的“廚師”在冰淇淋上添加餅干、糖果、甚至披薩。接著冰淇淋開始結冰。下一步，廚師把冰淇淋在冷烤盤上攤成薄薄的一片。幾秒鐘后，廚師用工具把冰淇淋鏟成卷。鏟好的冰淇淋卷就放進一個紙杯里，上面可以加水果或糖漿。
One serving costs about six dollars in most places in the United States.

在美國多數(shù)地方，這樣一份冰淇淋卷售價6美元。

Thailand most often gets credit for the creation; a popular YouTube channel called “Ice Cream Rolls” reports that the dessert started there. Millions of people watch the channel’s latest videos each week.

泰國經(jīng)常因富有創(chuàng)造力而深受人們好評;YouTube一個熱門節(jié)目“冰淇淋卷”報道了泰國制作的甜點。每周有成千上萬人觀看最新節(jié)目。

Asia has been coming up with new frozen treats for a long time. A recent New York Times article reported that “elaborate” frozen desserts were written about in Japanese literature nearly 1,000 years ago. And, as one Asian food expert in Seoul, South Korea, told the Times: “You would never be served plain ice cream in a cup here.That would be too boring.”

亞洲制作新式冷凍甜品的傳統(tǒng)由來已久。最近《紐約時報》一篇文章報道，大約1000年前的日本文學就記載了這種“精心制作”的冷凍甜品。韓國首爾的一名亞洲美食專家在文章中說：“以后就不會有這么普通的冰淇淋杯了。因為沒有新意。”

And that’s What’s Trending Today.

以上就是今日熱點。
