prairie-oyster(n.)
“盐和胡椒调味的生鸡蛋,配酒或醋饮用”,这个说法最早出现在1878年的美式英语中,来源于prairie(草原)和oyster(牡蛎),可能是指其味道或食用方式。也有人称之为prairie-cocktail(草原鸡尾酒,1889年)。而Prairie-oyster(草原牡蛎)作为“炸小牛睾丸”,被视为美味佳肴,首次出现则是在1941年。
PRAIRIE OYSTER. This simple but very nutritious drink may be taken by any person of the most delicate digestion, and has become one of the most popular delicacies since its introduction by me at Messrs. Spiers and Pond's. Its mode of preparation is very simple. Into a wine glass pat a new-laid egg ; add half a tea-spoonful of vinegar, dropping it gently down on the inside of the glass ; then drop on the yolk a little common salt, sufficient not to quite cover half the size of a threepenny-piece; pepper according to taste, The way to take this should be by placing the glass with the vinegar furthest from the mouth and swallow the contents. The vinegar being the last gives it more of an oyster-like flavour. [Leo Engel, "American & Other Drinks," London, 1878]
草原牡蛎。这种简单却非常营养的饮品,适合任何消化系统较弱的人,自从我在斯皮尔斯与庞德的店里推出以来,已成为最受欢迎的美味之一。它的制作方法非常简单。首先在酒杯中打入一个新鲜的鸡蛋;然后加入半茶匙醋,轻轻沿杯壁倒入;接着在蛋黄上撒一点食盐,量要足够但不要超过三便士硬币一半的大小;最后根据个人口味撒上胡椒。饮用时,建议将醋远离嘴巴,先吞下蛋液,最后再喝醋,这样能更好地体验到牡蛎般的风味。[Leo Engel,《美国及其他饮品》,伦敦,1878年]
