土豆
在世界的很多地方，特別是北歐和北美，人們食用大量的土豆。如同其他重要的食物一樣，土豆在伊麗莎白時(shí)期從北美傳入英國。如今，土豆已經(jīng)成為了英國人飲食中非常重要的一部分，所以很難想象在土豆傳入之前英國人是怎么生活的。
烹飪土豆的方式很多。在英國四種主要的方式是煮、烤、燒和炸。
煮土豆時(shí)，把土豆切好，放入盛有沸水的燒鍋里，加入一點(diǎn)鹽。通常要煮上20分鐘或半個(gè)小時(shí)。
也可以烤土豆。把土豆放在烤箱里大約半個(gè)小時(shí)。通?？就炼故遣粍兤さ摹２粍兤た境鰜淼耐炼狗Q為帶皮的土豆。
燒和烤很相似，通常也是在烤箱里完成。燒和烤的主要區(qū)別在于烤的時(shí)候不放油，而燒的時(shí)候是要用油的。很多英國人通常都拿燒牛肉和燒土豆作為星期天的午餐。
炸與燒很相似，要放油脂或者油，但是炸的時(shí)候是不用烤箱的。有兩種炸土豆的方法，一種方法是把土豆切成片，放在一種稱為煎鍋的淺底鍋里炸。另外一種方法稱為深炸，把土豆片放到盛滿油的深鍋或金屬鍋里炸，這很像煮，不過用的是油而不是水。
Lesson55 Potatoes
In many parts of the world, particularly in Northern Europe and North America, people eat a lot of potatoes. Like many important foods, it was introduced to England from North America at the time of Queen Elizabeth. Nowadays it is such an important part of the Englishman's diet that it is difficult to imagine how he used to manage without it.
Potatoes can be cooked in many different ways. The four main methods used in England are boiling, baking, roasting and frying.
When one boils a potato one cuts it up and cooks it in a saucepan with boiling water and a little salt. They usually take twenty minutes or half an hour to cook.Potatoes are also baked. They are put in an oven for about half an hour. Usually they are not peeled. Baked potatoes with their skins on are called potatoes in their jackets.
Roasting is like baking because it is usually done in an oven. The main difference between baking and roasting is that when baking one does not use fat, but in roasting one does. For their Sunday lunch many English people usually have roast beef with roast potatoes.
Frying is like roasting because fat or oil is used but one does not use an oven. There are two main ways of frying potatoes. One can cut them into slices and fry them in a special shallow pan called a frying pan. The other way is called deep frying. The slices of potatoes are put into a deep pan or metal box full of oil. This is like boiling except that one uses oil instead of water.
