四川辣酱靠啥俘获美国味蕾

2017-11-10 08:21:01   中国青年网

不久前,美国人在麦当劳排长队“哄抢”四川辣酱。有些人甚至为抢夺四川辣酱而大打出手。抢到辣酱的人们到网上拍卖,20多克一小盒最高起价折合人民币13万元之多。四川辣酱为什么让美国人如此痴狂?美国人疯抢的四川辣酱与中国人在国内吃的四川辣酱是一种东西吗?《环球时报》记者对此做了一番调查。

热播动画掀起辣酱狂潮

记者居住在费城郊区偏僻之地,心想家边上的麦当劳食客不多,那里还存有一两包四川辣酱也未可知?怀揣侥幸,记者在中午急匆匆赶到麦当劳,买了一份麦乐鸡块儿童套餐,并指明配四川辣酱。店员遗憾地说整个大费城地区30多家麦当劳也只有城中心的3家10月7日当天有四川辣酱。

麦当劳的四川辣酱其实跟真正的四川辣酱毫无关系。19年前,迪斯尼拍摄了动画片《木兰》,麦当劳为了配合宣传《木兰》,推出了四川辣酱,在麦乐鸡块儿童套餐里放进了一个影片人物的小玩具和四川辣酱。辣酱当时全名是“木兰四川照烧蘸酱”,很复杂的一个名字。此后,麦当劳不再推出此蘸酱。当时就有四川辣酱爱好者发起签名运动,要求麦当劳继续提供这种辣酱。不知什么原因,19年过去了,麦当劳没有再让四川辣酱露面。

此次四川辣酱风潮的起因是美国热播的一部动画连续剧《瑞克和莫蒂》。瑞克在动画第三季的最后,大喊,哪怕等到第九季或者等97年,也要吃到四川辣酱。动画剧的粉丝们很快在脸书、推特等社交网络上发起了热烈的四川辣酱大讨论,他们要求麦当劳重新推出四川辣酱。于是麦当劳顺势而为,10月7日限量供应四川辣酱。

新版四川辣酱

酸酸甜甜抓住美国人味蕾

四川辣酱到底靠什么独特魅力抓住了美国人的味蕾?我们且看一下1998年推出的四川辣酱的主要成分:糖、番茄酱、醋、酱油和少量干辣椒。可以想象,这个蘸酱主要是酸甜味道,加上一点点辣味。记者专门向19年前吃过四川辣酱的同事求证,问他为什么喜欢四川辣酱,他答道:“首先我喜欢酸酸甜甜的味道,我也喜欢辣味,四川辣酱正好结合了这两种我最喜欢的味道。”

美国人喜欢酸甜口味。去过美国式中餐馆的人都知道,那里的中餐很难称得上是正宗的中餐。一个中餐馆如果做得过于正宗,往往很难存活下去。热门的中式菜品芝麻鸡以及在食品市场非常风行的照烧酱,无一不是酸酸甜甜的味道。

孩子们从小在麦当劳番茄酱的轰炸下,早早就形成对酸甜的深爱。而四川辣酱在平常习惯了的酸甜味基础上,加入了一点点辣味,正好给虽然喜欢但有点平庸的酸甜味带来了一点独特的新意,无怪乎人们会对它念念不忘。

有些辣酱粉丝走出没抢到四川辣酱的失望情绪,化悲痛为动力,开始自制四川辣酱。网上很快出现各种自制辣酱的食谱。不过万变不离其宗,所有食谱中都是先加一大杯糖,再加一大勺醋。看来只要抓住甜酸两味,抓住美国人的胃不算难题。

四川辣酱触发童年怀恋

仔细看一下引发这次四川辣酱风潮的主要人群,大多是25岁到30岁左右的年轻人。想象一下19年前,他们恰好是六七岁、八九岁的小朋友。那个年纪的他们,正热衷于去麦当劳吃儿童套餐,收集迪斯尼影片中动画人物玩具。当年无论是《木兰》动画片,还是相关的小玩具,都给了他们非常美好的童年记忆。在如花朵一般无忧无虑的幸福时光里,四川辣酱攻克了他们的味蕾,成了童年时的美味,是童年回忆里不可分割的一部分。

19年后,当年的小朋友已经二三十岁,他们正好是看《瑞克和莫蒂》动画片的主要观众。瑞克对四川辣酱的疯狂一喊,激起了那群年轻人的共鸣。童年往事如流水一样倾泻出来,经过近20年的思念,四川辣酱跟追不到手的梦中情人一样,在心中愈发美味起来。当麦当劳一提出重新供应四川辣酱,这帮《木兰》旧粉、《瑞克和莫蒂》新粉阻挡不住心中的兴奋、激动,其实也是对童年的一种怀恋。四川辣酱已经超出了简单的辣酱,它还担负着一代人的记忆和怀旧思绪。

而当年麦当劳推出四川辣酱,除了配合《木兰》宣传外,从深层意义上看,也是迎合了美国人民对探索中国历史文化、尤其饮食文化的巨大兴趣。我们对小时候妈妈做的饭念念不忘,如果哪个中国食品能够占据美国儿童的口味,那么它的前途将无限光明。
