中秋变态月饼合集「我一种都不敢尝,你呢?」

配上

Mid-Autumn Festival口语内容

一起过中秋!



回忆当年,传说中的五仁月饼被齐声讨伐,各类月饼大号们齐声“五仁TMD给我滚出月饼界!” 如今,「神奇」月饼继续横空出世!一款又一款的新奇月饼,一种又一种的‘神奇’内陷,真的是没有强大的心理也是不敢轻易下口啊!

 


第一款:巧克力香辣牛肉 月饼!

 

这个名字听起来就挺‘毁三观’的~Super AWESOME 的巧克力,配上牛肉,还是香辣味?为了吸引小伙伴的舌头,月饼厂商也是绞尽脑汁,搞出了一大堆逆天搭配新品。只能说,五仁兄别见怪,你已经被拍在沙滩上了 DEAD!!

每个50g,外表黝黑,外皮是巧克力做的,里面是麻辣牛肉馅。甜甜的巧克力,麻辣鲜香的牛肉馅,简直就是外焦里嫩的现实版写照,小雅哥没有这个胆量去尝试… 你呢?



第二款: 酸辣月饼

这款月饼被新定义为“黑暗料理新秀”。

听起来看起来好像没那么奇怪,但其实你看了它内陷的搭配,估计就臣服于厂商的脑洞了~ 月饼中的酸,来自老坛酸菜和山楂,而辣则来自类似于老干妈辣酱的原料,因此其风味酸中带辣。额…光是想想就觉得,这酸辣口味,和月饼能搭吗???



第三款:极品十仁月饼

该月饼是近年来开始流行大个月饼的产物,个头巨大,是普通月饼的4到6倍,根据价格的不同,在传统五仁馅料的基础上,增加不同的五种其他馅料而成,取的是合家团圆十全十美的寓意。不过,对消费者来说,这个名字颇有“买五仁送五仁”,占了大便宜的意思啊。PS:明年会出百仁月饼,后年会出千仁、万仁月饼吗?月饼厂商的设计思路还真是偷懒啊!



第四款:韭菜月饼

 对的,你没有看错,这绝不是饺子,而是实打实的月饼。韭菜月饼几乎是横空出世的新品种,月饼表皮刷了鸡蛋,加起来就是韭菜鸡蛋味的。不知道是不是每一口咬下去,都有再吃韭菜鸡蛋饺子的既视感呢。。。



说完了一些奇怪的月饼,我们要回到正题啦!

雅思口语中有不少关于festival的话题,比如说describe your favourite festival 之类的话题~ 不少同学都会选择中秋这个佳节来描述一番~ 那么,我们就来看看中秋节的英语版description吧!
