萊辛頓市(Lexington)的烤肉節
地方性遺產
您知道北卡羅來納州的萊辛頓市又名世界的烤肉首府(Barbecue
Capital of the World)嗎？萊辛頓市的十月被正式宣佈為「烤肉月」(Barbecue
Month)，而相片中的騎腳踏車兜風，即豬遊行(也稱做豬巡視Tour
de Pig)也是連續一個月的烤肉節慶祝活動的一部分。
相信您已經猜到萊辛頓市以其烤肉聞名於世，而它市內的第一家烤肉餐廳於1919年開業；萊辛頓市的烤肉作法是將豬的肩膀肉放在胡桃木上慢火炭烤，並塗抹混合了水、醋、鹽及胡椒的沾醬，然後烤到它完全酥軟為止，一磅的豬肉約費時一個小時；現在的萊辛頓市市內設有超過20家的烤肉餐廳。
1994年的烤肉節上，100,000多人共吃掉了11,000磅的烤肉，但吃並不是節慶的唯一活動，除了豬巡視外，也有專供兒童騎乘及遊玩的小豬園地(Piglet
Land)。
Did you know that Lexington, North Carolina, is known as the Barbecue Capital of the World? In Lexington, October was officially declared "Barbecue Month" and the cycling event, the Parade of Pigs (also called the Tour de Pig), in the photo is part of the month-long celebration known as Barbecue Festival.
If you didn't already guess, Lexington is famous for its barbecue. The city's first barbecue restaurant opened in 1919. Lexington barbecue is pork shoulder basted with "dip," a mixture of water, vinegar, salt, and pepper. It is cooked slowly over hickory wood until it is "fall apart tender." One pound of pork takes about an hour to cook. Today there are over 20 barbecue restaurants in Lexington.
In the 1994 Barbecue Festival, 11,000 pounds of barbecue were served to more than 100,000 people. But eating isn't the only thing people do at the festival. In addition to the Tour de Pig, there is Piglet Land, where there are rides and games for kids.
