“蛋撻”用英語怎么說?

蛋撻甜甜的，脆脆的，是大多數國人非常喜歡的零食。那么“蛋撻”用英語怎么說呢?我們一起來學習吧。

首先，我們來看一段來自CNN官網的文字：

Famous in Taiwan - In an island easily conquered by food fads including Japanese octopus balls and doughnuts, one of the first items that became hot in demand in Taiwan werePortuguese egg tarts. In 1997, the island developed an obsession with the egg tarts, establishing hundreds of shops selling egg tarts, only to close down in a matter of months after the trend died down.

其實已經很清楚了，“蛋撻”對應的英文是

egg tart

它是一個可數名詞，復數為egg tarts。其中的“撻”，就是tart的音譯，我們常說的“葡式蛋撻”就是Portuguese egg tart。

以下資料供大家參考：

The egg tart or egg custard tart (commonly romanized as dàn tà (Mandarin), dan that or dan tat) is a kind of custard tart found in Hong Kong, Portugal, England, and various Asian countries, which consists of an outer pastry crust that is filled with egg custard and baked.
