6.The food world has gone mash-up (混合) crazy.
A new food combination that puts a hot dog and a hamburger together launched in July and has become a hit in Australia.
The"hamdog"-a hamburger with a hot dog sausage in it-comes in a bun made in a special way.It holds an uncut hot dog in the middle and has a sliced burger on either side of it.The new invention also features lettuce,tomato,pickles (咸菜),cheese and a variety of sauces,
The mash-ups started when the"cronut"took 2013 by storm.New York baker Dominique Ansel mixed two pastries^-a French croissant and an American doughnut-together into a big,greasy treat.
From there,hybrid foods,containing the best of both worlds,went wild.With a combination of flavors and textures,they created things that some said were better than the original.There was the"mega burger pizza"-thick burger patties sandwiched between two big pizzas,first made in Japan.And then there was the waffle taco,which uses waffles as taco shells for scrambled eggs,sausage,chicken with gravy and fruit with whipped (搅拌的) cream.A US restaurant called Quality Italian cut a wide,very thin slice of chicken,decorated it with cheese and tomato and called it a chicken pizza.When the craze came to the UK,a British cake called a tart (果馅饼) was mixed with the American chocolate brownie cake,resulting in the"townie".
For some,the queues of people who want to buy the hybrid foods are even harder to understand than the foods themselves.Last year,CNN reported that a group of people in San Francisco in the US started lining up outside Mr.Holmes Bakehouse at 7am,even at weekends,to get their hands on the latest foodie discovery-the"cruffin".It is a cross between a croissant and a muffin.
The only rule for dishes these days"is that there are no rules",the USA Todays newspaper commented."This anything-goes mentality sees chefs ranging from small-town types to some of the biggest names in the industry satisfying their inner mad scientist by serving the craziest dishes imaginable."
Indeed,hybrid food fits the spirit of the times:Today,eaters are a little bit of everything all at once.Maybe it's time to make up your own combo dish.How about"broodles"-bread rolled into noodles and dipped in jam and butter?Better yet,maybe you could just rename a classic.What about Shanghai soup dumplings?You could call them"souplings"!
