世界各地的人早餐都吃什麼

Have you ever stopped to think about how breakfast differs in other countries? Although grains and fruit make cameos in most regions, the exact meals can actually vary quite a bit — not just in the type of foods served, but also in the quantity. After all, breakfast may not be the most important meal of the day. Sure, we need to consume calories early to fuel the rest of our waking hours, but a large breakfast would probably put most of us to sleep before lunchtime.

你有想過其它國家的早餐與自己國家的早餐有什麼不同嗎？儘管大多數地區的早餐含有穀物和水果，但確切來說這些早餐大不相同——不僅僅是食物的類型，而且還在於食物的份量。畢竟，早餐不一定是每天最重要的一餐。當然，我們需要早一點攝入卡路里來給接下來醒着的時光供給能量，但大份早餐可能會讓我們大多數人在午餐前就想睡覺了。

ARGENTINA

阿根廷

Breakfast in Argentina is a no-frills affair. You’ll find locals typically eating one of two things: tostados (toast) or medialunas ("half-moons"), which are pastries similar to croissants but a smaller and sweeter. Of course, these are typically eaten with coffee.

阿根廷的早餐十分簡單。你會發現當地人通常都會吃這一兩種早餐：吐司或牛角麪包，這是種點心，類似法國的牛角麪包，但比法國的更小更甜。當然，通常來說，人們還會喝咖啡。

BRAZIL

巴西

While Brazilians enjoy some traditional breakfast foods — such as eggs, toast, cereal, and fresh fruit — locals usually pass on heavy or rich dishes featuring an abundance of meat, loads of cheese, and other things that could pass as dessert. Aside from lots of fruit, favorite dishes instead include pão d’água (bread that’s crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside), creamy polenta, and banana sponge cake. Breakfast is generally on the light side, because lunch is actually seen as the most important meal of the day.

雖然巴西人喜歡一些傳統的早餐——比如說雞蛋、吐司、麥片和新鮮水果——當地人通常不吃太隆重或太豐盛的早餐（這些早餐的特點是含有很多肉、奶酪和其它可以當作甜點的早餐。）除了很多水果外，其它受人喜歡的早餐包括起司球面包（pão d’água）（外脆裏Q的麪包），奶油玉米和香蕉海綿蛋糕。早餐通常比較簡單，因爲人們認爲午餐纔是一天中最重要的一頓。

BURMA

緬甸

In Burma (or Myanmar), a morning might start out with a plate of sticky fried rice topped with boiled yellow beans. This savory dish, called kaut nyin paung, is sometimes served with fried fish and a cup of green tea.

在緬甸，早餐可能吃的是一盤蓋上煮熟的黃色豆子的黏黏炒飯。這道美味佳餚叫做kaut nyin paung，通常還配有炸魚和一杯綠茶。

CHINA

中國

Congee (rice porridge) is a popular comfort food and breakfast item in China, as well as several other Asian countries. This savory porridge can be eaten plain or topped with anything from ground meat to squid. Another breakfast (or snack) option is bao or bao zi, fluffy soft dough buns that are steamed and stuffed with a variety of fillings (pork, beef, or vegetables).

粥（稀飯）是我國也是其它幾個亞洲國家最流行的安慰食品和早餐。既可以吃白粥，也可以就着肉末和魷魚等小菜吃。另一種早餐就是包子，填滿各種餡料（豬肉、牛肉或蔬菜）蒸出來的蓬蓬軟軟的包子

FINLAND

芬蘭

A hearty bowl of oat-based porridge, called puuro, is a common breakfast in Finland, often served with milk, fresh or frozen berries, and a bit of butter.

滿滿一碗的燕麥粥（puuro）是芬蘭常見的早餐，通常和牛奶、新鮮或冷凍的漿果以及一點點黃油一起吃。

FRANCE

法國

A piece of baguette topped with butter and jam (known as a tartine) is a common breakfast in France. Breakfast pastries, such as croissants, are also often eaten with coffee or a glass of juice.

塗上黃油和果醬的一片面包，也就是奶油果醬麪包片（tartine）是法國常見的一種早餐。吃牛角麪包等早餐點心的時候，通常還會喝杯咖啡或喝杯橙汁兒。
