3. Milkshake

3.奶昔

Milkshakes are a lovely treat for the young, but you definitely would not want to give the original recipe to a child.

奶昔是款待年轻人的好东西，但你绝对不愿意给孩子们品尝早期的奶昔。

The first time the world saw the word ‘milkshake’ was in 1885, in a British newspaper. The article did not go on to talk about if people preferred strawberry or banana flavour; in fact, what the article did say was that milkshake was a “sturdy, healthful eggnog type of drink, with eggs, whiskey, etc., served as a tonic as well as a treat.” Yes, that’s right; the original milkshake contained alcohol.

“奶昔”一词于1885年在英国的一份报纸上第一次问世。文章并没有继续讨论人们更喜欢草莓还是香蕉的香味；实际上，这篇文章所描述的奶昔是一种“坚硬的、健康的蛋酒式饮品，里面加有鸡蛋、威士忌等，既是一种补药，也可用来款待宾朋。”没错，最初的奶昔里面含有酒精。

The actual milkshake we know and love came a little later in the 1900s. In 1922, a man called Ivan “Pop” Coulson wanted to make a remix on the recipe. Ever an experimenter, he added the one ingredient that made a huge impact on the recipe of milkshake forever; ice cream. Since then, the version with whiskey in it has fallen out of public knowledge; unfortunately, alcoholic milkshakes are not an item on the ‘hidden menu’ in fast food places.

我们现在知道且喜爱的奶昔出现得较晚，到20世纪90年代才出现。1922年，一个名叫Ivan Pop Coulson的人想在食谱中再混合点东西。他在试验品中加入了一种发挥了重要作用的原料——冰激凌。从那以后，加有威士忌版本的奶昔就逐渐退出了公众视野；不幸地是，酒味奶昔在快餐店的“隐藏菜单”里也不提供。
