印度飲食文化介紹英語怎麼說
1. 用英語寫出法國和印度的飲食習慣
印度人做菜喜歡用調料,如咖喱、辣椒、黑胡椒、豆蔻、丁香、生薑、大蒜、茴香、肉桂等,其中用得最普遍、最多的還是咖喱粉。咖喱粉是用胡椒、姜黃和茴香等20多種香料調制而成的一種香辣調料,呈黃色粉末狀。印度人對咖喱粉可謂情有獨鍾,幾乎每道菜都用,如咖喱雞、咖喱魚、咖喱土豆、咖喱菜花、咖喱飯、咖喱湯……除了咖喱粉,印度市場上還出售各種調料粉,赤、橙、黃、綠、棕,五顏六色的,好看而且味美。 由於宗教的原因,印度人的飲食習慣也不同。虔誠的印度教徒絕對不吃牛肉,因為他們把牛奉為神牛。穆斯林不吃豬肉,但大食牛肉。於是,殺牛和吃牛肉常成為印度教徒和穆斯林教徒沖突的導火索。在印度,由於印度教徒占人口的多數(82%),牛肉成為禁忌,因此市場上的牛肉價格最便宜。豬肉也比較便宜,因為穆斯林和高種姓的印度教徒都不吃豬肉,低種姓的印度教徒和基督教徒才吃豬肉。羊肉價格最貴,因印度教徒和穆斯林都吃。印度的素食者大約占人口的一半,虔誠的印度教徒和佛教徒是素食主義者,不沾葷腥;耆那教徒更是嚴格食素,連雞蛋也不吃,但可以喝牛奶,吃乳酷和黃油。印度的牛奶價格便宜,質量也很好,男婦老幼都喝牛奶。其奶製品如冰淇淋、乳酪、酸奶、蛋糕等,質量也屬上乘。 印度人的主食主要有米飯和一種叫「加巴地」的烙成的小薄餅,還有一種油炸的薄餅,又香又脆。印度的蔬菜主要有花菜、圓白菜、西紅柿、黃瓜、豆角、土豆、洋蔥、冬瓜等,每樣菜都燒得爛糊糊的,且放了不少咖喱粉,全是清一色的黃色。印度人的早餐已經西化,一般是一杯牛奶,幾片麵包,果醬、黃油,但中午飯和晚飯則是地道的印度風味,每餐都有豆子湯。印度的豆子種類繁多,有大如蠶豆的紅豆,還有黃豆、豌豆等,這些豆子都加上香料和鹽,用來做湯。 印度人進餐時,傳統方法一般是一隻盤子、一杯涼水,把米飯或餅放在盤內,菜和湯澆在上面。多數印度人進食時不用刀叉或勺子,而是用右手把菜卷在餅內,或用手把米飯和菜混在一起,抓起起來送進嘴裡。留洋的知識分子或中產階級家庭則使用刀、叉和勺子。 印度的甜食可謂「名符其實」,甜得發膩。甜食種類很多,有煎的、炸的、烘的、烤的,一應俱全,但每一道甜食都無一例外地甜得要命。多數印度人都嗜食甜食,印度人容易發胖,大概與嗜食過多的甜食有關。印度人的晚餐也晚得名符其實,最早的在晚上8點左右,晚的在10點左右。吃完飯後不久就上床睡覺,不發胖才怪呢。 由於長期是英國的殖民地,印度人也像英國人一樣,有喝下午茶的習慣。印度的茶是奶茶,做法是把牛奶摻水煮開,再把茶葉倒進去,煮沸後用小篩子把茶葉濾出,加糖後即可飲用。 印度水果 印度的水果種類繁多,一年四季不斷。最便宜的是香蕉,因而被稱為「窮人的水果」。石榴約有小碗般大,紅彤彤的,有的咧開了嘴,露出一粒粒晶瑩透亮、紅瑪瑙般的果粒,十分誘人。葡萄有乳白色的,有紫紅色的,一串串像玉雕,剝一粒放在口中,香甜多汁,吃完後手會被粘住,是糖分太高的緣故。 印度最引人注目、令人垂涎的水果是荔枝。每年4、5月份是印度最熱的季節,也是荔枝上市的季節。印度的荔枝是連枝葉賣的,攤主為防水分蒸發,還在荔枝上噴上清水。一束束紅艷艷的荔枝,被沾著晶瑩水珠的綠葉襯托著,格外誘人、醒目。剝開紅艷艷的果皮,甘甜的汁水四濺,透明如玉的果肉令人垂涎欲滴,咬下去,甘甜、爽口,齒痕留香,百食不厭。 印度最有名的水果大概要數芒果了。每年夏天,首都新德里都要舉行芒果節,展出的芒果大約有400多個品種,有的大如西瓜,有的小巧如杏;有的紅艷欲滴,有的黃如美玉;有的綠瑩瑩的,有的黃中帶紅。形狀也各不相同,有圓的、長長的、橢圓的、兩頭尖尖的……有一種芒果,汁多味美,輕輕挖開一個小口,可用吸管吸食。 印度的木瓜非常便宜,大如西瓜,但味道一般,有的放得久了似有一股臭味。番石榴的味道也難以讓人接受,這種果子形狀像石榴、裡面有黑色的小籽,印度人吃時有時撒上一層胡椒粉。椰子也是一年四季都有,大概是從南印運來的。小販除了賣椰汁外,還把潔白的椰肉切成一塊一塊,放在托盤里沿街叫賣。那椰肉有一股特殊的清香,越嚼越香。
2. 英語簡介印度
The subcontinent of India lies in south Asia, between Pakistan, China and Nepal. To the north it is bordered by the world's highest mountain chain, where foothill valleys cover the northernmost of the country's 26 states. Further south, plateaus, tropical rain forests and sandy deserts are bordered by palm fringed beaches .
Side by side with the country's staggering topographical variations is its cultural diversity, the result of the coexistence of a number of religions as well as local tradition. Thus, the towering temples of south India, easily identifiable by their ornately sculptured surface, are associated with a great many crafts and performing arts of the region.
In the desert of Kutch, Gujarat, on the other hand, a scattering of villages pit themselves against the awesome forces of nature, resulting in Spartan lifestyles made vibrant by a profusion of jewelry and ornamental embroidery used to adorn apparel and household linen. In the extreme north is the high altitude desert of Ladakh. Local culture is visibly shaped by the faith - Buddhism -as well as by the harsh terrain. Yet another facet of Indian culture is observed in the colorful tribal lifestyles of the north eastern states of Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura and Manipur with their folk culture.
In the central Indian states of Orissa and Madhya Pradesh tribal village life has resulted in a variety of artistically executed handicrafts.
India's mountains provide heli skiing, river running, mountaineering and trekking. Its beaches provide lazy sun-bathing as well as wind surfing and snorkeling, and its jungles provide shooting wildlife -with a camera.
India's history goes back to 3,200 BC when Hinism was first founded. Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism. Judaism. Zoroashtrianism, Christianity and Islam all exist within the country today. As a consequence of India's size, the history of the country has seldom been the same for two adjoining territories, and its great natural wealth has lured a succession of traders and foreign influences to it, each having left their imprint in the country, however faint or localized. Thus, Chinese fishing nets in Kerala are a throwback to that country's ancient maritime trade, while in the north, terra-cotta figurines of the centuries BC bear distinctly Greek traces.
Modern India is home alike to the tribal with his anachronistic lifestyle and to the sophisticated urban jetsetter. It is a land where temple elephants exist amicably with the microchip. Its ancient monuments are the backdrop for the world's largest democracy where atomic energy is generated and instrial development has brought the country within the world's top ten nations. Today, fishermen along the country's coastline fashion simple fishing boats in a centuries old tradition while, a few miles away. motor vehicles glide off conveyor belts in state-of-the-art factories

3. 用英文介紹印度文化
The Republic of India
The Republic of India is a large South Asian country rich in ethnic diversity,with over one billion people speaking hundreds of languages. Politically it is the world's largest liberal democracy. The Indian economy is the fourth largest in the world, in terms of purchasing power parity, and is the world's second-fastest growing economy. India is also the second most populated country in the world. India has grown significantly, in terms of both population and strategic importance, in the last twenty years attributed to economic reforms.
Strategically located in Asia,constituting most of the Indian subcontinent,India straddles many busy trade routes. It shares its borders with Pakistan,the People's Republic of China,Myanmar,Bangladesh,Nepal,Bhutan and Afghanistan.Sri Lanka,the Maldives and Indonesia are the nearby island nations in the Indian Ocean. Home to some of the most ancient civilisations in the world, India was formally ruled by the British for almost ninety years before gaining independence in 1947.
Origin of India's name: The official name India is derived from Sindhu, the historic local appellation for the river Ins and is the most internationally recognisable of the country. The Constitution of India and general usage also recognises Bharat as the other official name of equal status. Bharat comes from the name of an ancient Hin king and means seeker of knowledge. The third name is Hinstan, meaning land of the Hins (where Hin refers to those who dwell to the right of the Ins/Sindhu river) used from the Mughal times onwards.
India,a sub-continent with 5000 year old History. A civilization united by its diversity,richness of culture,the glory of past,the turbulences and triumphs. The landmarks of each era,the achievements of a change,the legacy of a regime. As we walk through the history,India is an amazing discovery and its history is a unique tale of the past.
With the arrival of the Portuguese, French and English traders, advantage was taken of the fractured, debilitate kingdoms to colonise India. In 1857, an insurrection amongst the army sepoys ensued in the popular Revolt of 1857 against the powerful British East India Company; this mobilised resistance, though short-lasting, was caused by the widespread resentment against discriminatory policies of the British. After the revolt, the Indian independence movements started demanding complete independence. On August 15th, 1947, India was finally granted independence from British rule and became a secular republic.
January 26 (Republic Day of India): Republic Day is one of the greatest national celebrations observed throughout the country on January 26 every year. India became Republic on the 26th Jan, 1950. The country became a sovereign democratic republic with a written constitution and an elected parliament.
At the time of independence, although India was under British rule, there were 565 Princely States, big and small, ruled by powerful sovereigns who were protected by treaties of alliance with the British Crown. Without bringing them together, the fundamental unity of the country was not possible. This unification was accomplished by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, whose statesmanship helped to integrate the country into one nation. In a little less than 2 years, all the princely States became a part of the Republic of India.
It was on this date in 1927 that the Indian National Congress, then fighting its non-violent war for freedom, voted for complete independence as against 'dominion status'. When members of the INC took the pledge to work towards a 'sovereign democratic republic' of India.
Indian Constitution:
When India gained freedom from the British on August 15, 1947 there was the need to regulate the meaning of freedom.Therefore, to have a set of rules and regulations that would guide the nation, the Constituent Assembly met on December 9,1946.The Constituent Assembly was convened and appointed a committee with Dr. B.R.Ambedkar as Chairman to draft the Constitution.
Borrowing from the Constitutions of other countries, for example, the parliamentary form of government from Britain, supremacy of judiciary from the United States, federal system with a strong centre from Canada, directive principles of state policy from Ireland, the idea of concurrent powers and co-operative federalism from Australia, the system of procere established by law from Japan, the Indian Constitution is an amalgam of all these.
The Indian Constitution, the longest in the world, consist 397 articles and 12 scheles which provides for a single citizenship for the whole of India.The constitution of India was originally written in English It gives the right to vote to all citizens of 18 years and above, unless they are disqualified. Fundamental rights are guaranteed to the citizens, equality of religion and so on.
National motto: Satyameva Jayate (In sanskrit it means Always Truth Alone Triumphs)
The Great Indian Flag: This is an ancient Indian symbol associated with the powers and changes of nature.
Officially, the Orange color stands for Courage and sacrifice.
The White color signifies Peace and truth.
While Green symbolises Faith and Chivalry.
It is the ty of every Citizen to realise the significance of our flag and pay the honour and respect its commands.
Official language: Hindi,English
Having being declared a Democratic Republic, the people starting governing themselves according to the Constitution written by the Constituent Assembly. With this, Republic Day became the most important day in the history of India. It is therefore natural that the festivities for the day are a lot more elaborate than that for Independence Day.
The Republic Day Parade
The parade showcasing India's military might and cultural diversity covers an eight-km route, starting from the Rashtrapathi Bhavan through the picturesque Rajpath down to India Gate before winding up at the historic Red Fort in Old Delhi.
The events of the day begin with the Prime Minister laying a wreath at the Amar Jawan Jyoti (at India Gate).He meets the dignitaries present and unfurls the National Flag.Following the unfurling the National Anthem is played to a 21-gun salute.
After this a brief investiture ceremony takes place ring which the President awards India's top gallantry awards - Param Veer Chakra, Veer Chakra and Maha Veer Chakra. In army these are known as the most prestigious awards for bravery for saving their motherland from the enemy of our country.
Indian struggle continues till now...
After independence,India has fought four wars with its neighbours. From 1975 to 1977, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi declared a "State of Emergency in India", thereby freezing civil rights and detaining civilians without trial. Sikh riots in 1984 resulted in religious strife in much of India.
Also the destruction of the Babri Masjid in 1992 resulted in religious strife in much of India. In the desert town of Pokhran, in 1998, the Indian government exploded five nuclear warheads, confirming India's nuclear status. In 1999, India mobilised its military in Kargil, Kashmir to repel Islamist terrorists who, under the auspices of the Pakistani government, were encroaching upon Indian territory.

Many Chinese restaurants serve up raw and greasy potato dishes. However, Uncle Khang outdoes himself with Super Beautiful-Style French Fries (chao mei shi shu tiao) a dish that not only looks spectacular, but tastes splendid as well. An impressive mound of crispy shredded potatoes shaped like a haystack is quickly devoured.
A must-try are the Small Sweet Potato Pies (xiao bao su he) small mince pie look-alikes filled with mashed sweet potato. Uncle Khang's King Fish (kang lao ba wang yu) is presented to us in a large steaming bowl covered with chilis. The fish is tender and full of flavor with just a hint of spice. Mao's Favorite Braised Pork (mao shi hong shao rou) is another hit, as is the Ham and Lily Root dish (jin tui he).
Although there is no English-language menu, there are photos of the more popular dishes and the waitstaff can help you order. A new chef will start at the end of the month, and the new menu is expected to include xiaochi (snacks).
Khang's is inexpensive, the service is excellent, and the ambience invites wiling away several happy hours here with friends.
6. 關於印度餐桌禮儀英語短文
印度菜在菜式創造和就餐禮儀上,都已經逐漸變得更加國際化,但是有一些細節專仍然需要外國食屬客們注意,否則仍有可能在餐桌上貽笑大方。
印度的餐桌禮儀:
1、 就餐也要拿捏時間
印度人通常一天只吃兩頓飯,第一餐是在上午接近中午的時候,第二餐基本在晚上9點以後。但是習慣西式生活的印度人,也開始一日三餐,每餐包括開胃菜、湯、主菜和甜點,根據個人食量點菜,也可以不要開胃菜。
如果和印度人同桌吃開胃菜,吃得太快或太慢都是不好的,最好盡量保持和對方相同的速度把菜吃完。甜點和茶一定要等到飯後再端上餐桌,否則也是對客人非常不禮貌的行為。
2、印度人實行分餐,所以吃多少盛多少,不要剩菜。
3、「手抓飯」忌諱
印度人用手也是有忌諱的,那就是他們只用右手抓食物,而左手絕對不得用來觸碰食物。印度人認為,左手是專門用來處理不潔之物的,因此吃飯時,他們的左小臂一般沿桌邊貼放,手垂放於桌面以下,或是乾脆把左手藏在隱蔽的地方。
4、用餐結束清洗右手
服務員會給客人用小碗端來洗手水,水裡漂著用於清潔的檸檬片和用於裝飾的花瓣,當然,只能清洗右手。

People and Culture
India is the world's second most populous nation (after China). Its ethnic composition is complex, but two major strains predominate: the Aryan, in the north, and the Dravidian, in the south. India is a land of great cultural diversity, as is evidenced by the enormous number of different languages spoken throughout the country. Although Hindi (spoken in the north) and English (the language of politics and commerce) are used officially, more than 1,500 languages and dialects are spoken. The Indian constitution recognizes 15 regional languages (Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu, and Ur). Ten of the major states of India are generally organized along linguistic lines.
Although the constitution forbids the practice of 「untouchability,」 and legislation has been used to reserve quotas for former untouchables (and also for tribal peoples) in the legislatures, in ecation, and in the public services, the caste system continues to be influential. About 80% of the population is Hin, and 14% is Muslim. Other significant religions include Christians, Sikhs, and Buddhists. There is no state religion. The holy cities of India attract pilgrims from throughout the East: Varanasi (formerly Benares), Allahabad, Puri, and Nashik are religious centers for the Hins; Amritsar is the holy city of the Sikhs; and Satrunjaya Hill near Palitana is sacred to the Jains.
With its long and rich history, India retains many outstanding archaeological landmarks; preeminent of these are the Buddhist remains at Sarnath, Sanchi, and Bodh Gaya; the cave temples at Ajanta, Ellora, and Elephanta; and the temple sites at Marai, Thanjavur, Abu, Bhubaneswar, Konarak, and Mahabalipuram. For other aspects of Indian culture, see Hin music; Indian art and architecture; Indian literature; Mughal art and architecture; Pali canon; Prakrit literature; Sanskrit literature.

8. 誰知道印度的飲食習慣和他們都吃什麼用英文寫出來,配中文!謝謝!!!
Most Indians don't eat pork or beef, because they think pigs are filthy and cattles are considered sacred. For meat, they eat mainly chicken, goat meat or mutton and fish. There are lots spices and herbs used in Indian dishes, such as mustard seeds, cumin, lentil, turmeric (for coloring), chili pepper and ginger etc. They also use coconut milk to cook rice and yogurt to cook meat. (Indians use yogurt to tenderize meat.)
Indian dishes are quite spicy, that's why they always have
a bowl of yogurt on the dinner table to help cool down the heat.
Indian Muslims have different diet. They eat beef but no pork.
That's why McDonald's in India do not sell beef burgers. But I heard they offer potato burgers. I'd love to try one if I go to India one day.
大部分印度人不吃豬肉或牛肉,因為他們嫌豬臟,而牛是神聖的動物。
回教的印度人也不吃豬肉,但他們吃牛肉。所以印度的麥當勞不賣牛肉漢堡。聽說他們有土豆漢堡,不知道是什麼滋味。
印度人能吃的肉類主要有雞肉,羊肉,魚肉和一些海鮮。印度的咖喱料理里有很多不同的天然香料,象芥末籽,香菜,小茴香,扁豆,姜黃,生薑,辣椒粉等等。印度人吃的很辣。為了降辣味,他們常常會在飯桌上放一碗酸奶。
它也是印度料理中不可缺少的一道調料,因為酸奶可以讓肉質更嫩。
印度人大多以飯為主食。他們的炒飯很有特色,是用生米(長米)做的。做法是先放米進油里炒,然後加姜黃調色,在加椰奶和水還有一種特別的香料把飯蒸熟. 加了椰奶的飯有一點點甜,還蠻有特色的.
