A Japanese company recently released white crusted milk bread that they hope will curb the practice of removing the crust when making sandwiches.
近日,日本一家公司推出了一款白边牛奶面包,希望以此遏制在做三明治时去掉面包边的行为。
Did you know that the vast majority of milk bread sandwiches made daily in Japan have their crusts removed?
你知道吗,在日本,每天制作的牛奶面包三明治绝大多数都是会去掉面包边的。
While crusted sandwiches do exist, the general perception is that the fluffy, white part of Japanese shokupan milk bread is tastier than the brown crust.
尽管也存在带面包边的三明治,但人们普遍认为,日式牛奶吐司蓬松的白色部分,要比棕色的面包边更美味。
This perception dates back to a time long ago when the crust was harder to chew through, but things are definitely a lot different today.
这一观念要追溯到很久以前,当时的面包边很硬很难咀嚼,但现在的情况肯定是大不相同了。
The crust is nice and soft, but people still seem to prefer crust-less sandwiches.
如今的面包边细腻柔软,但是人们似乎还是更喜欢去掉面包边的三明治。
That results in a lot of food waste, but one company hopes to change that with an innovative white crust shokupan bread.
这就导致了大量食物浪费,但一家公司希望能通过一种创新的白边日式牛奶吐司来改变这一现状。
Tokyo Chef Sugimoto and his team at the Imperial Hotel Co., Ltd. spent six months developing an innovative type of bread that they claim eliminates the need to get rid of the crust.
东京帝国酒店的主厨杉本和他的团队,花了6个月的时间研制出了一款新式面包,他们声称该面包无需去边。
People have been coming up with all sorts of ways to recycle bread crusts in order to curb food waste, but Sugimoto's idea was to create a crust that didn't have to be discarded in the first place.
一直以来,为了减少食物浪费,人们想出了各种回收面包边的方法,但杉本的想法是创造出一种原本就不必丢弃的面包边。
Although Imperial Hotel did not fully disclose the secret behind its new white crust bread,
虽然东京帝国酒店没有完全公开这款新白边面包的秘方,
it did mention that it is baked slowly at a lower temperature than regular shokupan bread, which results in a white color all through the bread and a more moist texture.
但是提到了这款面包要文火慢烤,比常规的日式牛奶吐司烘烤温度更低,这样面包才能通体白色,质地更润。
The white crust bread will be served in the Imperial Hotel's restaurants and at banquets,
这款白边面包将在帝国酒店的餐厅里和宴会上供应,
but people will also be able to purchase it from Gargantua Delicatessen, a luxury bakery that has been operating since 1971.
但是人们也可以从该酒店的高档面包房Gargantua Delicatessen购买,这家面包房从1971年营业至今。
