国外菜单上VG和GF缩写啥意思？点错了就尴尬了

China Daily

有人给我分享了一张国外菜单的照片，问我VG和GF等缩写啥意思。有人会不会想说，VG不知道是啥，但GF是不是girlfriend（女朋友）的意思啊？玩笑归玩笑，对于某些吃饭有忌口的人来说，这些英文缩写还是挺重要的呢！我在谷歌上一顿搜索，终于在一个叫foodee（谐音foodie：吃货）的网站上找到了这些缩写的含义：我们先来看VG，指的是vegan。牛津词典解释得比较清楚了： a person who does not eat any animal products such as meat, milk or eggs. Some vegans do not use animal products such as silk or leather. 不吃任何动物性食物（比如肉类、牛奶、鸡蛋）的人，而且有些vegan甚至不用来自动物的产品，比如丝绸和皮革制品。从这个定义来看，Vegan可以翻译为“严格的素食主义者”。我身边不少朋友就是vegan，有人出于信仰的原因，有人出于养生的目的，还有人为了保护动物和环境。再来看单个的字面V，指的是vegetarian。 vegetarian意为"素食主义者"，那么问题来了：vegetarian和vegan有何区别呢？这两者的区别在于素食是否彻底。vegan是“严格的素食主义者”，而“vegetarian”只是“素食主义者”。vegan除了不吃肉，连蛋和乳制品都不吃，而vegetarian只是不吃肉，鸡蛋和牛奶还是吃的。如果你是vegan或者vegetariian，菜单中V和VG的标注一定要看清。再看GF，指Gluten Free。 gluten表示“麸质”或者“谷蛋白”，后面的free是一个重要的单词后缀。这里的free可不是“自由的”或者“免费的”，而表示“免除…的”，或者翻译为"不含…的"、"禁止.的"。还记得以前我写过的国外“禁止吸烟”的标识吗：不少人因为不理解这个free而闹过笑话，smoke-free zone表示“此处禁止吸烟”。另外，国际机场里的“免税店”，英文是duty-free，这里的free跟上面如出一辙，都表示“免除…的”。再回到gluten free，表示“不含麸质”的，那么什么是“麸质”，为什么老外如此在意？我研究了一下：麸质（gluten）是谷物（比如小麦、大麦）中的一组蛋白质。咱们觉得面包嚼着很筋道就是因为里面的麸质。但“麸质”对有些人而言是个坏东西。因为他们体内缺乏分解麸质的酶，所以一吃面食就会肚子疼，还会胀气、手脚麻木、关节疼痛… 我身边还有一些朋友喝不了牛奶，一喝就腹泻，因为他们体内缺乏分解乳糖的酶，这种情况叫“乳糖不耐症”（lactose intolerance）。所以国外菜单有些食物后面会标注“DF”，即“Dairy-Free”（不含乳制品的），乳糖不耐症的朋友们可以放心点单。如果你有对麸质过敏的情况，那就要避免所有小麦大麦制品，比如面包、蛋糕、面条… 但随着科技越来越发达，很多本来含麸质的食物经过去麸处理也成为了无麸质食品，这些食品的包装上就会标明“Gluten Free”的标签，如下：有些讲究的餐厅会在他们的菜单上特别标出来他们的食物是“Gluten Free”。国外好像非常流行无麸质饮食，据说10个老外9个都在吃“GF”的食品。不过我咨询了我一位医生朋友，他说全麦制品（whole …
