【教授不點名】最「美國」的食物是⋯⋯漢堡嗎？再猜吧
想知道自己國家的文化特質，幾乎是沒辦法的事，除非跟另一個國家比較，看看他們有什麼，我們自己卻沒有，也看看哪些以為大家一定都有的東西，對方文化裡卻找不到。
最美國的食物⋯應該是？
筆者在高中畢業後去德國漢堡做了一年交換生，寄宿家庭的姐姐不久前也剛從美國交換回來。她常跟我們說她在美國見識到的奇人妙事，不過，有一點讓她很納悶，就是美國人怎麼那麼愛吃「花生醬」？她曾跟我們講過有關花生醬的冷笑話，笑點在於花生醬容易黏在上顎的特性，說的時候還帶著很多滑稽的動作：
There are three ways to get peanut butter off the roof of your mouth…
One way is to shake your head back and forth.
If that doesn’t work, you could kind of whistle.
If that doesn’t work, you could scrape it off with your finger.
There are three ways to get peanut butter off your finger.
One way is to shake it off. Another way is to blow it off.
