Lebanon黎巴嫩
Many dishes, such as hummus10, a delicious chickpea spread, are pervasive throughout the Middle East. But when you’re in Beirut, don’t leave without trying mezze, a selection of starters with dips like hummus and the smoky eggplant baba ganoush, fresh vegetables, olives and leavened bread that could be a meal in itself。
Lebanese cuisine relies heavily on poultry and meat, especially lamb, grilled or served in a stew. Lebanon also has a growing wine industry, but only order if you’re handed a wine menu; traditional Islamic law generally prohibits drinking alcohol。
黎巴嫩的许多菜肴都风靡整个中东地区,比如鹰嘴豆泥——一种美味的鹰嘴豆酱。但如果你在贝鲁特,就不能错过品尝“餐前小菜”——包括以鹰嘴豆泥、烟熏茄子酱等作为蘸酱的多种开胃菜、新鲜蔬菜、橄榄以及膨松的面包。这种餐前小菜本身就可作为一顿饭。
黎巴嫩的菜肴中有大量家禽和肉类,特别是羔羊肉(可烤制或者是炖制)。黎巴嫩的酒业也在不断发展,但你只能在被递上酒单时点酒,因为传统伊斯兰法律一般禁止饮酒。
Russia俄罗斯
The best meals are worth the money in Russia. If you see solyanka on the menu, don’t hesitate to order. This salty, sour and often spicy soup combined with meat or fish and topped with smetana, Russian sour cream, is delicious。
Borscht and pelmeni (dumplings) are ubiquitously Russian, but experiment with different varieties, such as salmon and wild mushroom pelmeni. Borscht can be spiced up with roasted apples and smoked goose breast. If you find the time, a culinary side trip to Georgia or Armenia in search of Azerbaijaini plov, a spiced rice dish cooked with meat and dried fruit, is worth the journey。
在俄罗斯,上等的美食值得你花钱品尝。如果你在菜单上看到酸辣浓汤,那你一定要点。这个咸、酸,通常还有点辣的汤里有肉或鱼,上面还加了“斯美塔那”——一种俄罗斯酸奶油,非常美味。
罗宋汤和俄罗斯饺子“佩尔米尼”在俄罗斯非常常见,不过你也可以尝尝各种不同的口味,比如鲑鱼和野蘑菇水饺。罗宋汤可以用烘烤过的苹果和熏鹅脯来提味。如果你有时间的话,可以顺便去游览一下格鲁吉亚或亚美尼亚,品尝一种用肉和果脯烹制而成的香米饭“Azerbaijaini plov”,绝对不虚此行。
