一年一度的感恩節(jié)又到了，這個(gè)曾經(jīng)只在北美流行的節(jié)日如今已經(jīng)蔓延至全球。在國(guó)內(nèi)，這個(gè)節(jié)日也頗受年輕人歡迎，不過，中國(guó)人對(duì)感恩節(jié)的認(rèn)知不外乎烤火雞，并向上帝的慷慨恩賜表示感謝等。今天我們帶您了解一下傳統(tǒng)地道的感恩節(jié)飲食文化。

毫無疑問，美國(guó)人的飲食習(xí)慣總是在變的，可每逢感恩節(jié)，消費(fèi)者還是恪守傳統(tǒng)。不僅幾十年來吃一樣的菜，就連做菜用的原材料品牌也基本沒變過。為此，《財(cái)富》雜志特別梳理了美國(guó)感恩節(jié)傳統(tǒng)菜肴中的經(jīng)典食品。

Libby’s南瓜罐頭

由于南瓜成長(zhǎng)關(guān)鍵期偏逢大雨連綿，今年美國(guó)最大的罐裝南瓜生產(chǎn)商Libby’s采收的南瓜減少了一半。公司的存貨沒法維持到明年，所以，今年產(chǎn)的南瓜罐頭發(fā)完貨以后，Libby’s新貨上市最快也要等到明年南瓜收獲。

Libby’s canned pumpkin

Because of heavy rain during the critical growing months for pumpkins, Libby’s crop yield was reduced by half this year. The company has no reserve stock to carry it into next year so once it ships the remainder of the 2015 harvest, Libby’s will be without canned pumpkin until the 2016 harvest.

法式炸洋蔥

四季豆砂鍋是節(jié)日期間的必備佳肴，節(jié)日期間能賣出上千萬份，其核心配料French’s法式炸洋蔥也自然熱賣。數(shù)據(jù)供應(yīng)商IRI統(tǒng)計(jì)，去年French’s法式炸洋蔥成為感恩節(jié)當(dāng)周排名第三的暢銷食品品牌（Ocean Spray蔓越莓果凍醬排在第四位。）感恩節(jié)當(dāng)周，F(xiàn)rench’s法式炸洋蔥賣出將近1400萬罐，為期三周的假期合計(jì)賣出3000萬罐。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）
