01-28

法式早餐總是備受女士和兒童的喜愛。英式早餐總是偏咸，而法式早餐則甜食居多。法式早餐中，您可以選擇一款飲料搭配糖果，再配以甜食如可頌麵包或者巧克力麵包等。接下來，我將為您具體介紹一下法式早餐。您會發現，中國也有法式早餐噢！

There is a long tradition for a breakfast in France that women and children particularly love. Indeed, unlike the English breakfast which is savoury, the French one is almost exclusively sweet. You and your children can choose between several types of beverages, and a great variety of sweet, delicious viennoiseries, such as croissant, or pain au chocolat… I invite you to read on and discover more about the French breakfast. As you will see, it』s delicious and you can even find it in China!

為什麼都是甜食呢？

Why a sweet breakfast?

早餐是一天中最重要的一餐。早餐時刻，正是身體「打破齋戒」，補充一天所需能量的第一餐。此時大腦需要葡萄糖，而甜食中含有大量的葡萄糖，攝取甜食可以避免發生低血糖-人在上午11點時容易發生低血糖。這一點對兒童來說尤其重要，因為他們在學校時更需要集中注意力。

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Indeed, this is the moment during which the body literally 「breaks its fast」, and recharges a third of the energy it needs for the day. Your brain needs glucose in order to work well. A sweet breakfast will provide it, while helping you avoid a glucose shortage - hypoglycaemia - which often sets in around 11am. It is particularly important for children, as they have to maintain concentration at school.

法式早餐喝什麼？

What can you drink with a French breakfast?

早上醒來後，體溫會逐漸升高。這時可以選擇一杯熱飲幫助身體恢復體溫。法式早餐中，您可以選擇三款熱飲。

As you wake up, your body temperature gradually increases. You might want to help it along by drinking a hot beverage. The French breakfast generally offers three choices.

咖啡Coffee

在法國，咖啡是成年人吃早餐時的最愛。您可以選擇性的加奶或加糖。早餐咖啡跟一天中其他時間喝的咖啡相比，可以更佳濃郁，有助於清醒提神。根據科學家的說法，身體攝取咖啡因的最佳時間是早上11點之前。另加奶油，牛奶或糖，則使咖啡味道更佳。

This is the most popular beverage in France for adults. You would take it with or without sugar or milk. In order to fully awaken, you may be tempted to make your coffee stronger in the morning than you would later in the day. This is not a bad idea; according to scientists before 11am is the best time for the human body to receive caffeine. Adding cream, milk and sugar helps to smoothen the taste.

熱巧克力Hot Chocolate

1615年，奧地利的安妮王后（路易十四的母親）將熱巧克力自西班牙帶入法國，從此熱巧克力在法國風靡開來。尤其是兒童，他們還會在熱巧克力中加入牛奶一起飲用。瑪麗·安托瓦內特王后每天早上都要喝一杯熱巧克力，即使是被送上斷頭台時也是如此。熱巧克力的做法很簡單，您可以將巧克力放入鍋中加熱，慢慢加入牛奶，或者直接在熱牛奶中加入巧克力粉攪拌而成。

Extremely popular in France since Queen Anne of Austria (the mother of Louis XIV) brought it over from Spain in 1615, this is also the favourite beverage for children, who often prefer it with added milk. Queen Marie-Antoinette also used to drink one cup of hot chocolate every morning, even on the day she was guillotined. To make it, you can either melt chocolate bars in a pan, gradually adding milk, or simply buy chocolate powder, heat some milk and mix them together.

茶飲Tea

女士們經常飲用綠茶或果茶作為早餐茶。對兒童來講，茶飲作為早餐有點太過激烈：母親們害怕孩子們喝完茶飲後，精力過於充沛而不好管教。茶飲中也可以加入牛奶或者糖塊。

Green tea and fruit tea are particularly appreciated for breakfast, mostly by women. Traditionally it was considered too exciting for children: mothers were afraid their child would be full of energy and out of control afterwards! You can choose to add milk or sugar.

除了兒童以外，法國人不喜歡單純只喝牛奶。那麼果汁如何呢？在美國的影響下，20世紀早期開始橙汁逐漸流行開來。如果早上要喝橙汁，注意不要喝太涼的，不然體溫沒有辦法很快恢復。說完飲品後，那麼應該吃些什麼呢？

Typically in France, it would be unusual to drink hot or cold milk by itself, except for young children. And fruit juices? Under the influence of American culture, orange juice became very popular in the early 20th century. Just make sure it』s not too cold when you drink it in the morning, otherwise it would counter the efforts of the body to warm up.Now that we』ve covered the drink options, what shall we eat？

法式早餐吃什麼？

What can you eat in a French breakfast?

法式長麵包Baguette

最經典的法式早餐食物就是法式長麵包切片或其他麵包切片抹上果醬，稱之為「奶油果醬麵包片」。您可以將長麵包切下一段，然後再從中間將它切成兩片。這個時候，再將黃油，果醬，蜂蜜，果子醬塗在切開的平面上。這樣的果醬麵包片，早餐時可以吃兩個甚至更多，您甚至可以將果醬麵包片蘸著茶飲然後食用。任意麵包切片均可：白麵包，黑麵包，穀物麵包等等。The most iconic items here are slices of baguette or other breads, spread with jam: we call them 「tartine」. Take your baguette, cut off a portion of it, and then slice this portion in two along its length. You will then have two slices of baguette with a flat top, on which you can spread butter, jam, honey or marmalade with a knife. It is common to eat two or more of these 「tartines」; you can even soak them in your tea, chocolate or coffee. You can choose any type of bread; white baguette, dark bread, corn bread etc…

法式早餐或者說法式甜食中，還有一款經典食物:甜酥麵包。

Then you have another symbol of the French breakfast and sweet culture: the viennoiseries.

可頌麵包Croissant

在維也納，可頌麵包是為紀念1683年戰勝土耳其而產生的。據說，1770年瑪麗·安托瓦內特王后將可頌麵包從維也納帶到法國，作為她婚禮上的食物。您可以將可頌麵包沿著長邊切成兩片，然後抹上果醬或者蜂蜜，蘸著茶，熱巧克力或者咖啡食用。非常美味哦！

The legend says its original version would have been brought to France by Marie-Antoinette for her wedding in 1770 from Vienna where it was created to remember the victory against the Turkish in 1683. Here again you can slice your croissant along its length, and spread various jams, or honey on it, or even soak it in your tea, chocolate, and coffee. Always delicious!

巧克力酥 pain au chocolat/chocolatine

根據傳統，法國的學校會把長麵包配一塊巧克力發給學生們作為食物。後來，麵包師傅們在巧克力外面裹以起酥皮製成巧克力酥。巧克力酥需要趁熱食用，剛出爐後的幾分鐘，味道最佳。您也可以將巧克力酥蘸到茶里，咖啡里，甚至是熱巧克力里然後食用！

Traditionally it was a piece of baguette bread filled with a bar of chocolate that was given to pupils at school in France, but later bakers made it from puff pastry. I strongly recommend you try it warm, a few minutes after having been pulled out of the oven. Here again, you can soak it in your tea, coffee or hot chocolate if you prefer!

提子酥 pain aux raisins/escargot

提子酥，是可頌麵包和巧克力麵包的衍生品。將葡萄乾和巴迪西奶油醬環形排列在發酵的黃油酥皮上便可製成。吃提子酥的時候，最好不要再另外加其他東西，也不要蘸著茶，咖啡或熱巧克力，因為它本身的味道已經很豐富了。

This is typically a variant of the croissant or pain au chocolat, made with a leavened butter pastry with raisins added and shaped in a spiral with a crème patissière filling. I advise you not to add anything when eating it, nor to soak it in your tea, chocolate or coffee, as its flavour is already strong enough.

以上是最受歡迎的幾種甜酥麵包，當然您之前可能已經吃法式蘋果包，脆糖迷你泡芙，或者奶油蛋卷等其他甜酥麵包。另外像是早餐麥片，果盤，乳酪，奶昔也是越來越常見的早餐食物。在我看來，可頌麵包搭配奶昔或蜂蜜，也很美味。

These were the most popular viennoiseries, but of course you can enjoy some other varieties, such like the chausson aux pommes, the chouquette, the brioche etc… Other products such as breakfast cereals, fruit compote, fromage blanc, and yogurt are becoming increasingly common as part of the meal. In my opinion, a croissant with some yogurt and honey is also delicious.

那麼果醬呢？利用不同的水果可以製成果醬，果凍或果子醬。把水果特殊處理，加入糖製成果醬能長期保存。最受歡迎的果醬種類應該是草莓醬，杏子醬，無花果醬，藍莓醬和櫻桃醬。

And what about jams? Actually it can take the form of jams, jellies, or marmalades, it varies upon the fruit used. Fruits are cooked, sugar is added and the jam can then be stored for a long time. The most popular jams are made from strawberries, apricots, figs, blueberries, and cherries.
