词汇 | julienne |
词源 | julienne. One celebrated word sleuth seems to feel sure that julienne, when applied to a clear soup garnished with vegetables cut into thin strips, comes from the French potage à la julienne, the name bestowed by the chef of the Comte de Julienne. The Oxford English Dictionary is not so sure, citing “the French Jules or Julien, personal name,” and another big dictionary, sweeping any male chauvinism aside, gives us “French, special use of Julienne woman’s name.” Webster’s brings our French male chef to America, without a master, and has julienne named “after Julien, a French caterer of Boston,” as do several Ameri- can writers on food. While the controversy simmers, people will go on enjoying the soup, and all kinds of other foods cut into julienne strips. |
