早幾年奶奶嚟香港，我哋帶佢去南丫島Shelly Cake Express食tea( https://www.facebook.com/BritishHousewife/posts/1730205437290522 )，我老公食咗個cinnamon raisin scone。我見我奶奶的面口有個「吓？」在額頭上。不過同shelly嘅手藝無關，而係，英國人的scone，一係冇加料，一係加提子乾之類，其他在佢哋來講係怪！肉桂喎，冇理由放入scone呀，唔得呀，完全接受唔到呀我個頭好痛呀(下省一千字)...不過我老公冇咁傳統，有少少彈性可試新嘢。我作為香港人就覺得，cinnamon and raisin, why not? 不過我自已唔鍾意食cinnamon同raisin，整親都係橙皮甚至薑。之前我奶奶可能怕唔好意思，都有食過我的薑scone，話都好味喎，但我知佢心諗，好味還好味，scone邊有人落呢D嘢㗎？ 引身到，scone點讀亦係一個非英文為母語嘅人最常見的疑問。照字面睇，佢係讀s-公。係喎，你去美國，係s-公呀。但在英國，大多數人都係s-干呀。咁解釋咗點解一直以來在香港的餅店，scone都譯作士干餅。在澳洲、新西蘭亦多數叫s-干的。之但係，如果你講英文唔係有英國口如音，你讀s-干英國人都知你係有少少扮嘢，所以你讀番s-公其實亦冇所謂。 講到美國讀s-公，其實佢有種叫biscuit的東西係源於美國南部，個樣同源於蘇格蘭的scone差不多，材料同做法亦差不多，不過其實深入研究，biscuit牛油多D，冇scone咁易散，而且多數是咸點，最常見的係biscuits and gravy。而呢個gravy比我奶奶見到又係會嚇死，因為佢其實係白汁加煙肉碎！英國gravy係肉汁，啡色的。而英國scone多數是tea time甜食，搽clotted cream同jam加杯茶，就叫cream tea。有關tea同lunch的英文可睇番呢度：https://www.facebook.com/BritishHousewife/posts/1709112669399799仲有，biscuit大家有在香港讀小學嘅都知，係餅乾呀點解個樣會似scone呀？仲有美國人所有餅乾都叫cookies。但對英國人來講，Mrs fields果D又大又少少軟心的先係cookies。Jenny's cookie其實對英國人來講係biscuits，仲要係shortbread based biscuits。係咪好亂呀？講咁多，係咪肚餓？嗱回吓帶睇吓我家的正宗英式scones同biscuits，快靚正，自己有心癮時可快整一個嚟食吓呀！亦可睇吓相引證以上我講在英國人眼中，scone、biscuits and cookies係乜嘢。Sconehttps://www.facebook.com/BritishHousewife/posts/1475327239445011:0Scone 的rubbing in method livehttps://www.facebook.com/BritishHousewife/videos/1637239149920485/Vegan sconehttps://www.facebook.com/BritishHousewife/posts/1647372122240521Black tea shortbread (biscuits)https://www.facebook.com/BritishHousewife/posts/1674067686237631Jam thumb print biscuitshttps://www.facebook.com/BritishHousewife/posts/1557836814527386Ginger nuts (biscuits)https://www.facebook.com/BritishHousewife/posts/1704474716530261Hobnobs (biscuits)https://www.facebook.com/BritishHousewife/posts/1590830437894690Chewy chocolate chip cookieshttps://www.facebook.com/BritishHousewife/posts/1590224491288618Peanut butter chocolate chip cookieshttps://www.facebook.com/BritishHousewife/posts/1525594034418331Lemon and oat cookieshttps://www.facebook.com/BritishHousewife/posts/1564062233904844#英式主婦 #食嘢學英文 #scone #biscuit #tea #英文 #英國文化
