苏式月饼 Jiangsu style mooncake

1. 鸭肉月饼 duck mooncake （不常见，但我们公司楼下有个鸭王烤鸭)

It's my most highly anticipated part of this episode. I get to eat this stuff. 这是我最期待的部分 我要试吃这些月饼啦

Let's go ahead and try it out. I think I'd like to start with the Sushi Yuebing (Jiangsu style). 我们开始试吧。我想先从苏式月饼开始。

It seems more like a meal.它看起来更像主食。

I'll save the best for last. Because it's like a dessert and it's cold. 我要把最好的留在最后。因为这个看起来最像甜点而且还是冰的。

And this kind here is supposed to be duck. I think I'll just go ahead. 这个应该是鸭肉的。我开动了

Shall I just take a bite or break it? 我咬一口还是先掰开？

No you can't break it: 千万不能掰

It's very flaky. If you break it it will all fall apart. 这个皮特别酥，如果你掰开，整个都会碎

苏式月饼一大特点就是很酥，容易碎，

英语可以这样形容：

• flaky

• crumbly

It can be messy when you eat it. 吃的时候可能会掉一地，弄得乱七八糟

Spencer点评：

I like the insidea lot. 我很喜欢里面的馅儿

I think the outside is a little dry for me. 外面的皮对我来说有点儿太干了

My coworker Nathan said earlier that is his favorite. He is from Shanghai as well. 我的同事Nathan说这是他最喜欢的月饼，他也是上海人。

“鲜”英语怎么说？

英语没有一个特定的形容词，形容“鲜”这个口味，只能说：

• umami (这是最近美国吃货流行的词，从日语翻译过来的，“鲜”的意思)

Spencer点评鲜肉月饼：

• It's very flavorful. 非常好吃。

• It really satisfies your tastebuds. 满足了你的味蕾

鲜肉月饼

3. 豆沙月饼red bean paste mooncake

Paste就是泥、蓉，甜月饼基本都是...paste

Spencer点评：

This is good: 很好吃

I like red bean paste buns: 其实我也爱豆沙包子

I need a glass of milk. 不过最好配一杯牛奶

I could totally put peanut butter on it. 最好再加一点花生酱（Spencer有多爱花生酱啊！清明吃青团也配花生酱）。

月饼＋花生酱，Spencer的黑暗料理：

Maybe it tastes too nutty. 可能果仁味太重了

上海老字号——杏花楼

“老字号”老字号英语怎么说？

• an old establishment

People love to go shop there out of tradition. 大家喜欢这些老字号的历史积淀、去那里是一种传统

Some placed will be commemorated. It has official status. 有些老字号有纪念意义、受到官方认证

Spencer想到了美国的一些老字号

• Macy's in Manhattan 曼哈顿的梅西百货，大家可能听过

• Ben's Chili Bowl in D.C. 这是Spencer老家华盛顿的一家小饭馆儿

Chili is like stew with beans and meat. Chili是一种用豆子和肉炖出来的菜。

It's been there for decades. It's commemorated as an historic site. 它已经开了几十年了，已经被认证为历史景点了

I once tried it and I didn't think it was good. But it still has history. People go there and support the business. 我试过一次，不觉得好吃。但老店历史悠久，大家还是会去捧场

奥巴马也去老字号
