I'm Neil. And I'm Beth. Would you like some fried chicken and chips with gravy肉汁, Beth? No thanks, Neil. I don't really like fried chicken. It's too oily for me. OK, no problem, but maybe you'd like some organic[有化] 有机的 poulet roti in a tendermi jus with frites. Oh, that sounds interesting. What is it? Well, it's French for chicken and chips with gravy肉汁. It's a strange fact, but the same dish described using different words can make it sound more delicious, more exotic异国情调的 and more desirable值得要的.
Restaurants think carefully about the language they use to describe the food on their menus, trying to make it sound appealing吸引人的, tasty or poetic诗的. Instead of hamburgers, we have gourmet能精选品评美食、美酒的人 burgers. It's jus, not gravy肉汁. And raspberry coulis sounds a lot tastier than raspberry sauce. Many of the words used to describe gourmet能精选品评美食、美酒的人 food, that's food which is higher quality and more sophisticated诡辩的 than usual, are French.
