Why does British food have a reputation for being so bad? Because it is bad! Those are not the mos

2、t encouraging words to hear just before eating lunch at one of Hong Kongs smartest British restaurants, Alfies by KEE, but head chef Neil Tomes has more to say. “The past 15 years or so have been a noticeable period of improvement for food in England, the English chef says, citing the trend in Briti

3、sh cuisine for better ingredients, preparation and cooking methods, and more appealing presentation. Chefs such as Delia Smith, Nigel Slater, Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay made to the public realize that cooking - and eating - didn”t have to be a boring thing. And now, most of the British public is

4、 familiar even with the extremes of Heston Blumenthas molecular gastronomy, a form of cooking that employs scientific methods to create the perfect dish. “It”s no longer the case that the mon man in England is embarrassed to show he knows about food,“ Tomes says. There was plenty of room for improve

5、ment. The problems with the nation”s cuisine can be traced back to the Second World War. Before the War, much of Britains food was imported and when German U-boats began attacking ships bringing food to the country, Britain went on rations (配给). “As rationing came to an end in the 1950s, technology

6、picked up and was used to mass-produce food, Tomes says. And by then people were just happy to have a decent quantity of food in their kitchens. They weren”t looking for cured meats, organic produce or beautiful presentation: they were looking for whatever they could get their hands on, and this pri

7、oritization of quantity over quality prevailed for decades, meaning a generation was brought up with food that couldnt pete with neighboring France, Italy, Belgium or Spain. Before star chefs such as Oliver began making cooking fashionable, it was hard to find a restaurant in London that was open af

8、ter 9 p.m. But in recent years the capitals culinary (烹饪的) scene has developed to the point that it is now confident of its ability to please the tastes of any international visitor. With the opening of Alfies in April, and others such as The Pawn, two years ago, modern British food has made its way

9、 to Hong Kong. “With British food, I think that Hong Kong restaurants are keeping up, says David Tamlyn, the Welsh executive chef at The Pawn in Wan Chai. Hong King diners are extremely responsive to new ideas or presentations, which is good news for new dishes. Chefs agree that diners in Hong Kong

10、are embracing the modern British trend. Some restaurants are modifying the recipes (菜谱) of British dishes to breathe new life into the classics, while others are using better quality ingredients but remaining true to British traditions and tastes. Tamlyn is in the second camp. We select our food ver

11、y particularly. We use US beef, New Zealand lamb and for our custards (牛奶蛋糊) we use Bird”s Custard Powder,“ Tamlyn says. Some restaurants go for custard made fresh with eggs, sugar and cream, but British custard is different, and we stay true to that. Matthew Hill, senior manager at the two-year-old

12、 SoHo restaurant Yorkshire Pudding, also uses better ingredients such a means of improving dishes. There are a lot of exciting perceptions about British food and so we can”t alter these too much. Were a traditional British restaurant so there are some staples (主菜) that will remain essentially unchan

13、ged.“ These traditional dishes include fish and chips, steak and kidney pie and large pieces of roasted meats. At Alfie”s, the newest of the British restaurants in town and perhaps the most gentlemens club-like in design, Neil Tomes explains his passion for provenance (原产地). “Britain has started to

14、bee really proud of the food it”s producing. It has excellent organic farms, beautifully crafted cheese, high-quality meats.“ However, the British don”t have a history of exporting their foodstuffs, which makes it difficult for restaurants in Hong Kong to source authentic ingredients. “We can get a

15、lot of our ingredients once a week from the UK, Tamlyn explains. But there is also pressure to buy local and save on food miles, which means we take our vegetables from the local markets, and there are a lot that work well with British staples. The Phoenix, in Mid-Levels, offers the widest interpret

16、ation of British cuisine, while still trying to maintain its soul. The gastro-pub has existed in various locations in Hong Kong since 2022. Singaporean head chef Tommy The Kum Chai offers daily specials on a blackboard, rather than sticking to a menu. This enables him to reinterpret British cuisine

17、depending on what is available in the local markets. We use a lot of ingredients that people wouldn”t perhaps associate as British, but are presented in a British way. Bell peppers stuffed with couscous, alongside ratatouille, is a very popular dish.“ Although the ingredients may not strike diners a

18、s being traditional, they can be found in dishes across Britain. Even the traditional chefs are aware of the need to adapt to local at tastes and customs, while maintaining the Britishness of their cuisine. At Yorkshire Pudding, Hill says that his staff asks diners whether they would like to share t

19、heir meals. Small dishes, shared with meals and mixing it up is not something monly done in Britain, but Yorkshire Pudding will bring full dishes to the table and offer individual plates for each diner. That way, people still get the presentation of the dishes as they were designed, but can carve th

20、em up however they like, Hill says. This practice is also popular at The Pawn, although largely for rotisseries (烤肉馆). Tamlyn says, Some tables will arrive on a Sunday, order a whole chicken and a shoulder of lamb or a baby pig, and just stay for hours enjoying everything we bring out for them. Some

21、 British traditions are too sacred (神圣的) to mess with, however, Tomes says. I”d never change a full English breakfast.“ 46. The Phoenix in Mid-Levels may not use British ingredients, but presents its dishes in a British way. 47. Yorkshire Pudding is a restaurant which will bring full dishes to the t

22、able but offer plates to those diners who would like to share their meals. 48. With culinary improvement in recent years，Londons restaurants are now able to appeal to the tastes of all kinds of overseas visitors. 49. Hong Kong diners wele new ideas and presentations 9 according to Welsh executive ch

23、ef David Tamlyn. 50. While using quality ingredients, David Tamlyn insists that the dishes should maintain British traditional tastes., 51. The food ingredients from Britain are produced on excellent organic farms so Neil Tomes loves it. 52. Tamlyn says that besides importing ingredients from Britai

Her household bills piled up, along with the dishes and dirty laundry, but it took near-constant plaints from her four

32、 daughters before she realized she had a problem. “I was starting to feel like my whole world was falling apart-kind of slipping into a depression, said Carla. I knew that if I didn”t get off the dating sites, Id just keep going,“ detaching (使脱离) herself further from the outside world. Toebe”s concl

33、usion: She felt like she was “addicted to the Internet. She”s not alone. Concern about excessive Internet use isnt new. As far back as 1995, articles in medical journals and the establishment of a Pennsylvania treatment center for overusers generated interest in the subject. Theres still no consensu

34、s on how much time online constitutes too much or whether addiction is possible. But as reliance on the Web grows, there are signs that the question is getting more serious attention. Last month, a study published in CNS Spectrums claims to be the first large-scale look at excessive Internet use. Th

35、e American Psychiatric Association may consider listing Internet addiction in the next edition of its diagnostic manual. And scores of online discussion boards have popped up on which people discuss negative experiences tied to too much time on the Web. “There”s no question that therere people whore

36、 seriously in trouble because theyre overdoing their Internet involvement. “ said psychiatrist (精神科医生) Ivan Goldberg. Goldberg calls the problem a disorder rather than a true addition.

The Internet problem is still in its infancy, said Elias Aboutjaoude, a S

40、tanford professor. No single online activity is to blame for excessive use, he said. They”re online in chat rooms, checking e-mail, or writing blogs. The problem is not limited to porn or gambling“ websites. Excessive Internet use should be defined not by the number of hours spent online but in term

41、s of losses, said Maressa Orzack, a Harvard University professor. If it”s a loss where youre not getting to work, and family relationships are breaking down as a result, then its too much.“ Since the early 1990s, several clinics have been established in the U. S. to treat heavy Internet users. They

42、include the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery and the Center for Internet Behavior.

45、Some people say reliefbecause they find themselves so relaxed. Some parts of the Internet seem to draw people in more than others. Internet gamers spend countless hours peting in games against people from all over the world. One such game, called World of Warcraft, is cited on many sites by posters

46、plaining of a gaming addiction. Andrew Heidrich, an education network administrator from Sacramento, plays World of Warcraft for about two to four hours every other night, but that”s nothing pared with the 40 to 60 hours a week he spent playing online games when he was in college. He cut back only a
