英语词汇chicken à la king的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

chicken à la king. Chicken à la king, diced pieces of chicken in a sherry cream sauce, is now available canned, frozen, and even in Army mess halls, a long way from the éclat tables where it was served in the late 19th century. The dish was not invented for a king, as is popularly believed, yet it’s hard to pinpoint just whom chicken à la king does honor. Some say that New Yorker Foxhall Keene, self-proclaimed “world’s greatest amateur ath- lete,” suggested the concoction to a chef at Delmonico’s. Of the numerous stories surrounding the dish’s creation the most reli- able seems to be that of the famous Claridge’s Hotel in London. Claridge’s claimed that the dish was invented by its chef to hon- or J. R. Keene, whose horse had won the Grand Prix in 1881. Perhaps J. R. passed on the recipe to his son, the peerless Fox- hall. At any rate, the Keenes did not hold public interest long enough, and the Keene in Chicken à la Keene eventually became king.
