麦当劳在英国推出第一款素食餐
McDonald’s first-ever vegan meal is set to hit menus in the UK in early 2020.
麦当劳的第一份素食餐将于2020年初出现在英国的菜单上。
On January 2, the fast-food giant will introduce its inaugural vegan meal across the pond with the launch of Veggie Dippers. The environmentally-friendly breaded bites will be filled with red pepper, sundried tomato pesto, split peas and rice, Delish reports.
1月2日，这家快餐巨头将在大西洋彼岸推出第一款纯素餐，推出素食蘸酱。据《美食》杂志报道，这款面包将由红辣椒、番茄沙司、碎豌豆和大米制成，非常环保。
Hungry customers can also make their meal complete with fries (which are reportedly vegan-friendly in the UK) while youngsters can enjoy the Veggie Dippers in their Happy Meal order, too.
饥肠辘辘的顾客还可以用炸薯条来填饱肚子(据报道，炸薯条在英国对素食者很友好)，而年轻人也可以在点餐时享用素食蘸酱。
Last year, McDonald’s menus in the UK debuted the Spicy Veggie One wrap with red pepper and pesto goujons (fried strips) as a vegetarian option and the product was considered a success. The dish was not touted as vegan, however, as the wraps were not prepared in a way that avoided contamination with dairy products, per Metro.
去年，麦当劳在英国推出了一款配有红辣椒和香蒜沙司(油炸条)的辣味蔬菜卷，这款产品被认为是一种成功的素食选择。据《都市报》报道，这道菜并没有被吹捧为素食，然而，因为包装的制作方式并没有避免乳制品的污染。
But things are different this time around because new Veggie Dippers will not come into contact with any dairy ingredients during preparation, a McDonald’s official confirmed.
但这次的情况有所不同，因为新的素食者在准备过程中不会接触到任何乳制品成分，一位麦当劳的负责人证实了这一消息。
“The Veggie Dippers are the same goujons as those used within the Spicy Veggie One but are prepared in a way that avoids contamination with any dairy ingredients, making this product fully vegan,” the spokesperson told Delish.
该发言人告诉Delish:“这些蔬菜酱和辣味蔬菜酱是一样的，但是制作的方式避免了任何乳制品成分的污染，使得这款产品成为纯素食。”
According to Thomas O’Neill, an executive in food marketing for McDonald’s UK and Ireland, the time is right for the iconic fast-food chain to serve up vegan fare.
麦当劳英国和爱尔兰食品营销主管托马斯?奥尼尔(Thomas O 'Neill)表示，这家标志性快餐连锁店供应素食食品的时机已经成熟。
Though McDonald’s is the largest fast-food chain in the world with over 60,000 restaurants, CEO Steve Easterbrook admitted earlier this year that the company is paying “close attention” as its competitors increasingly experiment with vegetarian and vegan fare.
尽管麦当劳是世界上最大的快餐连锁店，拥有6万多家餐厅，但首席执行官史蒂夫·伊斯特布鲁克今年早些时候承认，随着竞争对手越来越多地尝试素食和纯素食品，麦当劳公司也在“密切关注”。
