美食文化生活作文【一】
俗话说得好：“民以食为天。”中国的饮食文化是极为丰富的，各地都有独特的美食。而在西安，羊肉泡馍就成了你必须品尝的佳肴之一。
羊肉泡馍无论做法还是吃法都是很讲究的。制作时先将优质羊肉洗好切成片，再加以各种佐料大火煮烂。这时，店家会给你一个大碗跟两个馍。
吃羊肉泡馍最主要的就是掰馍，越细越好，泡起来才更入味，通常黄豆打小就可以了。接着将滚烫的羊肉汤倒入碗中，同时配以葱末、香菜、粉丝、盐、味精跟地道的陕西油泼辣子，一碗羊肉泡馍就完成了。
看着这碗羊肉泡馍，就像一件完美而又杰出的艺术品。红红的辣子油漂浮在汤上、灰蒙蒙的羊肉、翠绿的香菜跟葱末、晶莹剔透的粉丝、雪白的馍，真令人赏心悦目。看着看着我仿佛看到羊肉汤变成了大海，粉条就像层层波浪，馍块的肉片就像星罗棋布的小岛，而翠绿的葱末就像点缀在小岛上郁郁葱葱的树木。
羊肉泡馍的香味也十分诱人。那浓郁的香味早就已经随着热气四处弥漫，它就像一只无形的手勾住了我的鼻子，令人垂涎三尺。
这时我也顾不上什么绅士风度，狼吞虎咽地吃了起来。真是鲜、香、辣。羊肉的醇香，香菜跟葱末的清香，泡馍的柔软筋道，油泼辣子的香辣，这就是羊肉泡馍的特色。再喝上一口羊肉汤，真是鲜美至极！如果再配以几颗糖蒜，就更是享受了。汤鲜而不膻，羊肉肥而不腻，泡馍细腻柔软充满汤的鲜美跟馍原有的香味，粉条爽滑可口，这就是我对羊肉泡馍的评价。一股脑吃完这些，全身发热，头上也冒汗了，总之就一个字：“爽！”
羊肉泡馍不仅色香味形俱全，历史也很悠久，也许是因为它是古城西安的名吃吧。羊肉泡馍早在周朝就有了，那时叫做羊羹。关于它还有一个有趣的传说。相传，宋太祖赵匡胤未得志时生活贫困，流落长安街头。一天，他身上只剩下两块干馍，十分干硬无法下咽。一位好心的羊肉铺店主看他可怜就给了他一碗滚烫的羊肉汤。赵匡胤将干馍掰碎吃了起来，吃得浑身发热，饥寒全消，后来他当上了皇帝，这一美食就出了名。
羊肉泡馍如今已享有盛名，它深受北方各族人民喜爱，许多国际友人也争先品尝，一饱口福。羊肉泡馍已经成为陕西小吃的“代表”。

冰淇淋是生活中不可缺少的一道美食。夏天没胃口时，尝些冰淇淋，是一个迅速补充体力降低体温的好方法。尤其对小朋友来说更是挡不住的诱惑，聪明的妈妈能在小朋友不愿吃饭时，偶尔改变方式以冰淇淋取代主食，同样能摄取营养和热量，漂亮的颜色又让人产生食欲。
你知道吗？美国每年能销售10亿加仑的冰淇淋，8%的牛奶最终变成冷冻食品。如今，各种各样的冰淇淋店更是遍布世界。现在就让我们一起看看冰淇淋的历史吧。
The earliest reports of people enjoying flavored ice desserts come from the Romans and the Chinese. Marco Polo returned from his famous expedition with fruit-flavored ices, reporting that Asians had been making them for thousands of years. These delicacies became popular in France in the 1500s, but only among royalty. Over the next few centuries, the process of making them evolved from hauling mountain ice to salt/ice freezing methods. Cream was introduced as an ingredient, and by the 1700s, people were enjoying a dessert that was very similar to today's ice cream.
The hand-cranked ice cream freezer was first developed by Nancy Johnson in 1846. Ice was readily available from large warehouses in that era, so ice cream became a treat that could be enjoyed by almost anyone, not just the rich. Ice cream making was revolutionized again in 1851, when Jacob Fussel started the first wholesale ice cream manufacturing operation in Baltimore, Maryland. Fussel's dairy business had excess cream and he couldn't figure out what to do with it. He tried using it to make ice cream, and before long his ice cream business outsold the rest of the dairy.
The business slowly evolved for the next few decades. Manufacturing methods and ingredients improved, while refrigeration technology became cheaper and more efficient. By the 1920s, home refrigerators and freezers became more common, which gave the ice cream industry another boost. Sugar was rationed in the US during World War I, but the ice cream industry convinced the government that ice cream was an "essential food”. Ice cream factories were allotted sugar rations and production continued.
Ice cream increased in popularity until the Depression years caused a drop in sales for virtually all non-essential goods. Sales increased in the years leading up to World War II before leveling off in the post-war years. The rise of the giant supermarket created demand for cheaper, mass-produced ice cream, but quality suffered. The 1960s saw a resurgence in "premium"ice cream, while the following decades saw the market fragment into low-fat varieties for the health-conscious, including frozen yogurt, fruit bars, ice milk, fat-free ice cream, and dozens of other varieties. However, ice cream still makes up about 60 percent of the market share among frozen desserts. While ice cream is enjoyed worldwide, it has become an American tradition

说起饺子，可以说大家是再熟悉不过了。在我们中国，每当逢年过节，迎亲待友，总会包饺子。饺子滑润可口，味道鲜美，寓意深刻。每年除夕之夜，在我国北方家家户户都会围坐在一起包饺子。“水饺人人都爱吃，年饭尤数饺子香。”这句话代表着人们对饺子的钟爱之情。
饺子由来已久，始于东汉末年。“医圣”张仲景在冬至回乡路过南洋时，看见不少穷困老百姓耳朵冻伤，饥寒交迫，很多人染上风寒。张仲景顿生怜悯之心，于是便在当地搭了一个医棚，支起一口大锅，用羊肉、辣椒跟袪寒提热的药材做馅，再用包成耳朵形状，盛给穷人们吃。人们从冬至吃到除夕，抵御了伤寒，治好了冻耳。为了感谢张仲景的善良、无私。每年的冬至跟除夕，人们都要吃饺子。渐渐地，吃饺子就成了我们中国人的一种习俗。
在不同的时期，饺子的叫法也各不相同。东汉末年称饺子为“娇耳”。唐代却称之为“汤中牢丸”；元代称为“时岁角”；明末称为“粉角”；清朝又称为“扁食”……随着历史的发展，饺子渐渐开始变得名目繁多。如广东的澄粉虾饺、上海锅贴饺、扬州的蟹黄蒸饺、山东的高汤水饺、东北的老边饺子。四川的钏水饺等，都各有特色，受人欢迎。
饺子不仅好吃，而且做法独特、简单。首先需要将面团搓成长条，再把长条切成一个个小块，擀成面皮。然后将一些菜或肉剁碎，用油盐酱醋等佐料调成馅。再用面皮把馅包起来，用手把面皮一点点儿捏紧，这样一个漂亮的饺子就做好了。这些包好的饺子也是形状各异，蕴含深意：月牙形的叫“捏福”；元宝形的象征着财富遍地，金银满屋；麦穗形的象征着新的一年会五谷丰登……看来，这小小的饺子里也饱含着人们对美好生活的向往！
饺子可不仅仅是中国人的专利哦！外国的饺子也别有一番风味。如俄国人的饺子馅有牛肉、胡萝卜、鸡蛋、葱头、盐跟味精等，除此之外他们还会在饺子馅中添加一些辣椒末，而且包的个头很大。最特别的是他们煮饺子用的是牛骨熬成的清汤。不过，对俄国人来说，喝煮饺子汤是第一道菜，吃饺子跟是第二道菜。其他诸如匈牙利饺子、意大利饺子、朝鲜饺子等，也都很有特色，别具一格。
看到这里，你一定很馋了吧！那就让我们一起动手，做一份香喷喷的饺子吧！
