【BBC纪录片】老妈私房菜 第33期:奶酪刨丝器比赛

It's time for the old-tech,new-tech challenge.

现在开始高低科技挑战赛

And this week, it's cheese graters.For manycenturies, we've needed ways of reducing that todust.

这周我们要比的是奶酪刨丝器 几个世纪以来我们用这个工具把芝士磨成粉

We've got five different types of cheese grater. First up is a real antique.

我们现在有五种，第一个是一种古董

The man who was credited with inventing the cheese grater of this type was FrancoisBoullier,during the cheese-eating craze in the 16th century.

发明这种刨丝器的是法国人，在16世纪芝士风靡一时时候

We've also got a classic box grater.There's probably one of these in every kitchen in the land.

我们还有一个经典的，几乎全国每个家庭都有

And one of its variations,this round one has a container to catch the cheese.

他的改装版甚至还有容纳碎屑的盒子

This is a rotary grater, also know as moulinette a fromage.

这是旋转刨丝器，也叫绞丝器

It's most common in France,but getting a foothold in kitchens this side of the Channel too.

在法国最常见但也在英国受到了欢迎

And finally, we have a high-tech one, a power grater. One push of the button and it grates tillthe cheese runs out.

最后是高科技刨丝器。只要按下按钮就可以全部刨完。

You can use that one, Kingy, I know you love a gadget.

你可以用那个!

Come on, darling. Come on, darling!

来吧!

And to try them out, dude,we need some mums.

我们需要一些妈妈来尝试

I've got another one here,look, come on.

你也来吧!

Right, on your marks, you little cheesy wonders! Have a "grate" time.Oh!

好了，奶酪奇迹!玩的开心!

Here we go! A-five, a-four...Get your hand off that cheese,Myers!A-three, a-two, a-one, gograte!

倒计时!五，四，把你的手拿开，迈尔斯!三二一开始!

I've got a fundamental flaw with my grater on here.Well, you might as well grate it beforeyou put it in.

我的这个机器有个缺点，你得能放进去才能开始刨丝

Frenchman Francois Boullier invented the grater way back in the 1540s, as a way of using upcheese that had gone hard.It was an instant hit

法国人在1540年代发明刨丝器来吃已经变硬的奶酪!当时立刻大受欢迎

You'd be 106 if you were doing a souffle!

等你刨完了都100岁了!

Now, it may be slow,but if you can't use a normal grater, this powered one means that youdon't have to go without grated cheese.

有可能有点慢，但是这个机器做出的奶酪丝太多了!

The rotary grater grates the cheese very fine, and it does keep your little pinkies safely awayfrom the blades.

旋转刨丝器做出来的非常细，并且不会刮伤手指

And the winner is... Yay!

胜者是!

We've got a winner, Kingy.

第一名出现了!

What do you mean?

啊?

The box grater has won.

四面刨丝器赢了!

A worthy winner.

实至名归

The champion grater.

最棒的!
