意大利人发明了冰激凌，而冰激凌其实只是空气、水和糖的混合物；撒切尔夫人当首相之前是化学家，她最大的发明竟是给冰激凌充气……这一个个让人恍然大悟的小知识，便来自纪录片《流行世界的美食》。 美食是一个永恒的话题，继《舌尖上的中国》后，CCTV9近日陆续推出美食系列纪录片《行走的餐桌》《丝绸之路上的美食》《流行世界的美食》……再次引发“吃货”围观。其中，尤以《流行世界的美食》备受关注。这部纪录片从“炸薯条改变美国”、“比萨影响世界”等角度，讲述移民文化以及美食对世界政治经济的影响，在勾引口水之外，更增长见识，增添乐趣，被观众赞为美食版《教父》、“舌尖上的地球”。□东方今报记者 毛韶华 【长见识】 除了勾引口水，这还是吃货学历史的必备收藏！ 这部由BBC制作并在CCTV纪录片频道播出的美食系列纪录片，共有6集，分别讲述流行于世界的6大美食：意式冰激凌、寿司、三明治（汉堡包）、意大利面（还有中、日面食）以及比萨、炸薯条。该片利用走街串巷的方式，既着眼当代流行美食，又回顾历史，许多网友看过该片后评价，有一种经历“世界之旅，历史大巡游”之感。 比如“炸薯条”，看片之前，多数人只知道它是属于快餐店的“垃圾食品”，可不知道的是，它还有着传奇般的前世今生：炸薯条的原料土豆，在原产地秘鲁就有4000多个品种。而西班牙人挖黄金未遂挖了些土豆回去。再后来，法国大革命后，炸薯条成为高档食品。而比利时布鲁塞尔则将世界上第一个股票交易所改建成了炸薯条博物馆，与此同时，炸薯条还在改变着美国…… 再看寿司，市场上很多寿司都制作粗糙，但真正新鲜的鱼生和寿司绝对是难敌的美味。从《流行世界的美食》中，人们了解到，为了维护寿司的正统地位，日本曾经成立“寿司警察队”，企图打击世界上那些粗俗的寿司以维护日本的文化形象。 这样的讲述，令《流行世界的美食》带来的知识和感受不仅仅是令人垂涎三尺的美食，更是全方位的知识，是吃货学历史的必备收藏。 【添乐趣】 当月亮在你眼中是一个大比萨时，爱情来临了！ “吃饭时间到了，美国人会想，今天往两片面包里夹点什么呢？中国人会想，今天往火锅汤里煮点什么呢？”类似这样的表述方式，令《流行世界的美食》很明显不是一部乏味的罗列式纪录片。 它在令人长见识的同时，还妙趣横生。 “故事是这样开始的， 从前有个土豆以100公里时速前进从此变成了薯条……”观众小马说，就是这句开场白，一下子就把他给吸引到了电视机前。 而网友骁lock则对三明治的故事中一位“法国美食教授”念念不忘：“他怎么学了个这么好的专业，好幸福的教授，是不是要吃遍天下美食，才算修满学分？期末考试是不是鉴赏美食？” 而最浪漫的是，当人们看到，意大利的传统食品比萨，由意大利移民带到美国，让数百万意大利移民致富，然后美国人又将其做成全世界销量最大的冷冻食品之一，更不得不对比萨饼美食家所总结的“当月亮在你眼中是一个大大的比萨饼时，爱情便来临了”这一观点，深深认可。 【忙对比】 从舌尖讲到“舌根”，这盘“美味”更彻底 在此之前，三明治在人们的印象中，象征着一个无礼和匆忙的时代。然而看了《流行世界的美食》后发现，这些带着流浪感的快餐食物居然不是源自麦当劳的祖宗美国，而是18世纪英国的上流社会。如此种种错位的了解，令观众觉得有趣又有益，而这个片子更很难不火啦。 那它到底有多火呢？看看关注度。 在新浪微博的搜索引擎中输入“流行世界的美食”这几个字，能看到60多万条相关讨论。而事实上，这部纪录片据说在2012年年初便播出过，但没引起广泛关注。直至《舌尖上的中国》横空出世并引发集群效应后，它才彰显出自己的魅力，并被评为《舌尖上的中国》国际版——舌尖上的地球。 这样的结果，从表面来看，是《舌尖上的中国》带红了《流行世界的美食》，可是后者的不少粉丝却坚持认为，从文化角度来讲，《流行世界的美食》讲得更彻底，更加像从舌尖讲到“舌根”。

速食主义已经席卷了全球，日本也不能幸免。但仍然有着“一升庵”愿意细火慢调地为客人烹制可口的料理。江崎由夫（内博贵 Hiroki Uchi 饰）在非常商业化的料理店打工，忍无可忍，为了追求心中完美料理的梦想，他前去一升庵宁愿请求工作。没想到一升庵的老板娘早已不是他孩提时看到的那位，而是她的女儿半田仙（苍井优 Yû Aoi 饰）接手。阿仙最爱沉迷杯中物，这让伙计大为头疼。而早已是掌厨人的江崎由夫来到一升庵后要重头学起，连刀都碰不到，不禁大为沮丧。也曾想过放弃，想离开的时候又放不下阿仙和一升庵 。对于如今的世界 ，一升庵遗世独立追求着自己独立的目标，但现实的黑影已经渐渐逼近，这样的经营方式到底是不是真的可行？阿仙已到了适婚年龄，她一口答应去相亲，着实让江崎由夫大吃一惊，不知不觉中他已经对她着迷。

井之头五郎(松重丰 饰)独自经营着一家杂货店，他的小店虽然不是实体店，却接到不少客人的订单。每次接单他都亲自登门拜访客户，也因此发现了隐藏在城市里各个角落的美食。每当完成工作任务后，饥肠辘辘的他放下一切，专心地寻找着东京街头巷尾能勾起他食欲的小店，美食总是与他不期而遇。香喷喷的烤鸡肉串、热辣的无汤担担面、一个人的美味烤肉、入口即化的静冈关东煮、香脆可口的炸猪排套餐等等，每当沉浸在一个人享受美食的过程中，井之头五郎内心除了美味心无旁骛，填饱肚子后烦恼也一扫而光。 本剧是根据久住昌之创作、谷口二郎作画的同名漫画改编而成，运用了类似纪录片的描述方式，其中剧中登场的餐馆全部都是真实存在的，每集之后更有作者亲自走访剧中小店，采访老板并且品尝更多特色美食。

The finale of each episode was be a signature recipe from Raymond’s restaurant, such as the Café Crème.
