British Cuisine: the Best of Old and New

British cuisine (烹饪) has come of age in recent years as chefs (厨师) combine the best of old and new.

Why does British food have a reputationfor being so bad? Because it is bad! Those are not the most encouraging words to hear just before eating lunch at one of HongKong's smartest British restaurants, Alfie's by KEE, but head chef NeilTomes has more to say.

"The past 15 years or so havebeen a noticeable period of improvement for food in England," the English chef says, citing the trend in British cuisine for betteringredients, preparation and cooking methods, and moreappealing presentation. Chefs such as Delia Smith, Nigel Slater, Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay made the public realise that cooking - andeating - didn't have to be a boring thing. And now, mostof the British public is familiar even with the extremes of Heston BlumenthaPs molecular gastronomy, a form of cooking that employsscientific methods to create the perfect dish.

"It's no longer the case that thecommon man in England is embarrassed to show he knows about food," Tomessays.

There wasplenty of room for improvement. The problems with the nation's cuisine can be traced back to the Second World War. Before the War, much ofBritain's food was imported and when GermanU-boats began attacking ships bringing food to the country, Britain went on rations(配给).

"As rationing came to an end inthe 1950s, technology picked up and was used to mass-produce food," Tomes says. "And by then people were just happy to havea decent quantity of food in their kitchens."

They weren't looking for cured meats,organic produce or beautiful presentation; they were lookingfor whatever they could get their hands on, and this prioritisation of quantityover quality prevailed for decades, meaning a generation was brought up withfood that couldn't compete with neighbouring France, Italy, Belgium or Spain.

Before star chefs such as Oliver beganmaking cooking fashionable, it was hard to find a restaurant in London that wasopen after 9pm. But in recent years the capital's culinary (烹饪的)scene has developed to the point that it is nowconfident of its ability to please the tastes of any international visitor.

With the opening of Alfie's in April,and others such as The Pawn, two years ago, modern Britishfood has made its way to Hong Kong. "With British food, I think that HongKong restaurants are keeping up," says David Tamlyn, the Welsh executivechef at The Pawn in Wan Chai. "Hong Kong diners areextremely responsive to new ideas or presentations, which is good news for newdishes."

Chefs agree that diners in Hong Kongare embracing the modern British trend. Some restau­rantsare modifying the recipes (菜谱) of British dishes to breathe new life into the classics, while others are using better quality ingredients but remaining true toBritish traditions and tastes.

Tamlyn is in the second camp. "Weselect our food very particularly. We use US beef, New Zealand lamb and for ourcustards (牛奶蛋糊)we use Bird'sCustard Powder," Tamlyn says. "Somerestaurants go for custard made fresh with eggs, sugar and cream, but Britishcustard is different, and we stay true to that."

Matthew Hill, senior manager at thetwo-year-old SoHo restaurant Yorkshire Pudding, also uses better ingredients asa means of improving dishes. "There are a lot of existing perceptionsabout British food and so we can't alter these too much. We're a traditionalBritish restaurant so there are some staples (主菜) that willremain essentially unchanged."

These traditional dishes include fishand chips, steak and kidney pie and large pieces of roasted meats. At Alfie's, the newest of the British restaurants in town andperhaps the most gentlemen's club-like in design, NeilTomes explains his passion for provenance (原产地)."Britainhas started to become really proud of the food it's producing. It hasexcellent organic farms, beautifully crafted cheeses, high-qualitymeats."

However, the British don't have ahistory of exporting their foodstuffs, which makes it difficult forrestaurants in Hong Kong to source authentic ingredients.

"We can get a lot of ouringredients once a week from the UK," Tamlyn explains. "But there is also pressure to buy local and save on food miles, which means we takeour vegetables from the local markets, and there are a lot that workwell with British staples."

The Phoenix, in Mid-Levels, offers thewidest interpretation of "British cuisine", while still trying to maintain its soul. The gastro-pub has existed in variouslocations in Hong Kong since 2002. Singaporean headchef Tommy Teh Kum Chai offers daily specials on a blackboard, rather than sticking to a menu. This enables him to reinterpret British cuisinedepending on what is avail­able in the local markets.

"We use a lot of ingredients thatpeople wouldn't perhaps associate as British, but are pre­sented in a British way. Bell peppers stuffed with couscous, alongsideratatouille, is a very popular dish."

Although the ingredients may not strikediners as being traditional, they can be found in dishes acrossBritain.

Even the traditional chefs are aware ofthe need to adapt to local tastes and customs, while maintaining theBritishness of their cuisine.

At Yorkshire Pudding, Hill says thathis staff asks diners whether they would like to share their meals. Small dishes, shared meals and "mixing it up" is notsomething commonly done in Britain, but Yorkshire Pudding will bring fulldishes to the table and offer individual plates for each diner. "That way, people still get the presentation of the dishes as theywere designed, but can carve them up however they like," Hill says.

This practice is also popular at ThePawn, although largely for rotisseries (烤肉馆),Tamlynsays. "Some tables will arrive on a Sunday, order awhole chicken and a shoulder of lamb or a baby pig,and just stay for hours enjoying everything we bring out for them."

Some British traditionsare too sacred (神圣的)tomess with, however, Tomes says. "I'd never change a full Englishbreakfast."

Section B

Directions: There are 2 passagesin this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinishedstatements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

Several recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned toa roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to agreater likelihood (可能性)of conflict.

Recent reports found that lodging with a student of adifferent race may decrease prejudice and compel students to engage in moreethnically diverse friendships.

An Ohio State University study also found that blackstudents living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughouttheir college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by socialpressure.

In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the onlyblack student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surroundedby whites, you have something to prove."

Researchers also observed problems resultingfrom pairing interracial students in residences.

According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommatesof different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that oneroommate will move out.

An Indiana University study found that interracial roommateswere three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together bythe end of the semester.

Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised bythe findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students haveinteracted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.

At Penn, students are not asked to indicate racewhen applying for housing.

"One of the great things about freshman housing isthat, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly,"said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definitionof integration."

"I've experienced roommate conflicts betweeninterracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforcedstereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two yearsadded that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptanceand melding (融合)," there were also"jarring cultural confrontations."

The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred amongroommates of the same race.

Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizationsbased on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics ofthe students need to be studied and explained.

Passage Two

Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

Global warming is causing more than300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, accordingto a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, theformer United Nations secretary general.

The report, to be released Friday,analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster, population and economictrends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the globaldeath rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良)and heat-related health problems.

But even before its release, the reportdrew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned itsmethods and conclusions.

Alongwith the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people,primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change.It projected that the number would double by 2030.

Roger Pielke Jr., a political scientistat the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said theForum's report was "a methodological embarrassment" because there wasno way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven globalwarming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populationsand economic development in vulnerable(易受伤害的) regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate changeis an important problem requiring our utmostattention.” But the report, he said, "will harm the cause for action onboth climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的)."

However, Soren Andreasen, a socialscientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervisedthe writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that thenumbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders,who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new internationalclimate treaty.

In a press release describing thereport, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to helpreduce their vulnerability to climate hazards while still curbing the emissionsof the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of thehuman and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries,according to thereport.

62. What is thefinding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?

A)Global temperatures affectthe rate of economic development.

B)Rates of death fromillnesses have risen due to global warming.

C)Malnutrition has causedserious health problems in poor countries.

D)Economic trends have to dowith population and natural disasters.

63. What do welearn about the Forum's report from the passage?

A)It was challenged by someclimate and risk experts.

B)It aroused a lot ofinterest in the scientific circles.

C)It was warmly received byenvironmentalists.

D)It caused a big stir indeveloping countries.

64. What doesDr. Pielke say about the Forum's report?

A)Its statistics lookembarrassing. C) It deserves our closest attention.

B)It is invalid in terms ofmethodology. D) Its conclusion ispurposely exaggerated.

65. What isSoren Andreasen's view of the report?

A)Its conclusions are basedon carefully collected data.

B)It is vulnerable tocriticism if the statistics are closely examined.

C)It will give rise to heateddiscussions at the Copenhagen conference.

D)Its rough estimates aremeant to draw the attention of world leaders.

66. What doesKofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?

A)How rich and poor regionscan share responsibility in curbing global warming.

B)How human and economiclosses from climate change can be reduced.

C)How emissions ofheat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.

D)How rich countries canbetter help poor regions reduce climate hazards.
