早安，你今天 Q 了嗎？
一起來認識台灣美食的獨特口感

🇹🇼 In Italy, ‘Al Dente’ Is Prized. In Taiwan, It’s All About Food That’s ‘Q.’
台灣美食為什麼那麼「Q」？

🍭 NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan — As dusk falls at Lehua Night Market, the fluorescent lights flicker on and the hungry customers start trickling in, anxious for a taste of the local delicacies that give this island its reputation as one of Asia’s finest culinary capitals. Neatly arranged pyramids of plump fish balls. Bowls brimming with tapioca balls bathed in lightly sweetened syrup. Sizzling oyster omelets, hot off the griddle. Deep-fried sweet potato puffs, still dripping with oil.
台灣新北市——隨著夜幕降臨樂華夜市，燈光亮起，飢腸轆轆的客人們三三兩兩來到這裡，急於品嚐讓這個島嶼享有亞洲最佳美食之城的當地美食。整齊排成小山的飽滿魚丸。一碗碗涼圓，淋著略帶甜味的糖漿。剛從鐵板上下來，滋滋作響的蚵仔煎。還滴著熱油的炸地瓜球。

-fluorescent: 發出螢光的
-trickle in: 三三兩兩地抵達
-reputation: 名聲
-culinary: 烹飪的
-griddle: 鐵板、煎鍋
-deep-fried: 油炸的

🍡 Take a bite of any of these dishes and you’ll discover a unique texture. But how exactly do you describe that perfectly calibrated “mouth feel” so sought after by local cooks and eaters alike?
Slippery? Chewy? Globby? Not exactly the most flattering adjectives in the culinary world.
Luckily, the Taiwanese have a word for this texture. Well, actually, it’s not a word, it’s a letter — one that even non-Chinese speakers can pronounce.
It’s “Q.”

隨便嘗一口這些小吃，你都會發現它們別具風味。但你該如何形容那種經過精心調配，令當地廚師和食客們趨之若鶩的「口感」呢？
滑溜？有嚼勁？黏稠？這些可算不上是美食界最好聽的形容。
幸運的是，台灣人有一個詞來形容這種口感。其實，這稱不上是個詞語，而是一個字母——就連不講中文的人也能說出它。
那就是「Q」。

-texture: 口感、質地、韻味
-calibrate: 校準、調整、調配
-be sought after: 趨之若鶩
-chewy: 有嚼勁的

🥤 “It’s difficult to explain what Q means exactly,” said Liu Yen-ling, a manager at Chun Shui Tang, a popular teahouse chain that claims to have invented tapioca milk tea in Taiwan. “Basically it means springy, soft, elastic.”
Q texture is to Taiwanese what umami is to Japanese and al dente is to Italians — that is, cherished and essential. Around Taiwan, the letter Q can often be glimpsed amid a jumble of Chinese characters on shop signs and food packages and in convenience stores and advertisements.

「很難解釋Q到底是什麼意思，」人氣連鎖茶飲品牌、號稱台灣珍珠奶茶發明者的春水堂的經理劉葉玲說。「基本上，它是彈牙、軟糯的意思。」
「Q」的口感之於台灣人，就等於「umami」（鮮）之於日本人，「al dente」（有嚼勁）之於義大利人——備受珍視，也必不可少。在台灣各地，可以在店鋪招牌和便利店、廣告的食物包裝中的一堆中文字裡瞥見「Q」這個字母。

-tapioca milk tea: 珍珠奶茶
-springy: 有彈性的、彈牙的
-umami: 鮮味
-al dente: 彈牙、有嚼勁
-glimpse: 瞥見

梅根告訴歐普拉，嫂嫂凱特在花童事件後，送花還有小卡片跟她道歉。

前情提要：英國小報曾經報導兩人因梅根婚禮上花童的衣服有不同意見，凱特因此哭了。梅根一直感到不爽，因為哭的人是她，事後嫂嫂還送花來跟她道歉！但是王室都不去跟小報說哭的人是她，一直讓大家以為哭的人是凱特！

其實誰哭是有多重要，都過了幾年還拿出來電視上討拍，到底是多小氣，更何況嫂嫂還送了花給她。本來要控訴嫂嫂害她哭，我倒覺得嫂嫂至少表面功夫也做了。不過從頭到尾凱特倒是一句話也沒說，謹遵王室 don't complain, don't explain 的原則。

我要說的重點也不是花，而是英國人說話總是不清不處，讓人不知究竟真正的意思是什麼，以下這個報導裡的註解不錯。

“如果凱特沒覺得她做錯什麼事，幹嘛跟梅根道歉？也許她只是想息事寧人。一位王室觀察家表示，梅根顯然沒抓住我們英國人說對不起的真正意思，我們可是連不覺得自己有錯也會說對不起的民族啊！”

If, on the other hand, the Duchess of Cambridge did not believe she had been in the wrong during the fallout, why would she apologise?

Perhaps she was simply trying to calm the issue. As another Royal observer told The Mail on Sunday: 'Clearly, Meghan didn't grasp that very British concept of saying sorry even if you don't truly believe it was entirely your fault.'

聽英國人說話，真的不能光看字面會意，以下這個表可略知一二。例如 I'm sure it's my fault 的意思，是根本就是你的錯！

Lyrics:

Chorus:
All those toxic bitches try to fuck with me
Pull out my Glock try to prevent everything
Maybe is time to make a change before I bleed
Dancing with the devil if you know what I mean.

Verse 1:
Yeah
I heard that there’s a Plague
But I thought that is a gift
Still can enjoy sunset free
Heading towards oversea
You know I mean
Watching all those bitches begging for an Ecstasy
I swear I paid them hunnid bucks for a guarantee
Sorry, mom and dad, I broke a promise still cutting trees
Don’t you think I spend all my racks and cheques
Still chasing dreams
that’s my schemes tho
Never thought about to apology
I guess is time to repent before I sleep in a coffin

Verse 2:
So tell me how much effort you live to believe
Wasting time and life of work I fail to achieve
Still struggle in a comfort zone and hard to escape
The best way to wake me up
is to slap me instead
They say I have tons of dreams they call me insane
Better take you to the doctor start exploring my brain
Don’t you even have a chance to let me explain
drain my power of my mind left me flapping till dead

Skit:
LICKONE & ZacRao

Verse 3:
I always dreamed about how I live in post-apocalypse
never get to eat my favorite dishes call fish and chips
So I start to prepare wearing a non-bulletproof suit
Cause I know it, the earth is bout to fall soon
I wish can be a tree, I can let myself esteem
Treat my friends and family with the full of courtesy
At least I can a king in a Mario cart racing
win a trophy take back home to fulfill my destiny

Chorus:
All those toxic bitches try to fuck with me
Pull out my Glock try to prevent everything
Maybe is time to make a change before I bleed
Dancing with the devil if you know what I mean.
