从自制面包到偶尔的甜点，这些食物定义了边疆的生活。

除了偶尔发烧或严寒，与今天相比，草原上的生活似乎相当平静。至少，如果你能忍受没有外卖、快餐，甚至没有杂货店的便利的话。如果在漫长的一天工作后做晚饭听起来是一项艰巨的任务，想象一下当时有多难：不是去商店买食物，而是去打猎，然后用铸铁锅（一种放在热炭上的重型铸铁锅；不是今天的陶瓷铸铁锅）在火上烹饪，以喂养整个家庭。当他们不在盖着篷布的马车里穿越国家，也不靠硬饼干、饼干、干果和咖啡维持生计时，边疆家庭实际上很擅长在厨房里大展厨艺。典型的边疆时代餐盘包括主食，如咸猪肉、豆子、玉米饼，如果你运气好，可能还有一片醋汁派。它也可能是一碗炖菜或炸鸡，正如原版《小屋》系列在许多晚餐场景中所描绘的那样。虽然演员们后来透露他们在片场吃的是罐装 Dinty Moore 牛肉炖菜和肯德基，但现实生活中的英格尔斯家族在烹饪方面遵循的是从头开始的配方。以下是 19 世纪边疆定居者赖以生存的 6 种真实食物。

约翰尼饼

从“虚荣饼”到“约翰尼饼”，英格尔斯一家给他们制作的各种烘焙食品起了很多名字。类似于玉米饼，约翰尼饼是由基本的玉米面糊制成的，然后在火上烤成圆形的、独立的“饼”。这种简单的扁平面包通常配糖浆、糖蜜、肉汁和一块黄油——这是另一个从零开始制作的边疆主食。如果你还在纳闷为什么约翰尼饼叫这个名字，那你并不孤单。《大森林里的小木屋》中的一段节选写道：“劳拉总是想知道为什么用玉米面做的面包叫约翰尼饼。那不是蛋糕。”关于这个名字的一种解释是，它源于对“旅行饼”的误听，因为他们的简单食谱使得旅行者和定居者在停下来吃饭或安顿下来过夜时，很容易准备这种食物。

野味肉

忘记肉铺里完美的牛排切法，甚至冰箱里的鸡胸肉吧。回到 19 世纪末，定居者从他们在草原上遇到的几乎任何野兽身上获取蛋白质。在夏秋两季，这通常是水牛、鹿、麋鹿、羚羊，或者是劳拉·英格尔斯最喜欢的：熊肉。到了冬天，边疆家庭会通过熏制、腌制或将其风干成肉干来保存部分肉类。低温在冬天也充当了天然冰箱。当然，当情况变得艰难时——通常是在较冷的月份——新鲜野味肉稀缺，边疆家庭就会求助于他们的咸猪肉储备，以及兔子、松鼠，甚至蛇等小动物。

先驱儿童不需要糖果店来满足他们的甜食欲。

1. **Analyze the Request:**

* **Role:** Professional Chinese-English translator.

* **Task:** Translate the provided source text (the second and final part of a two-part article) into Chinese.

* **Constraints:**

* Do not repeat already translated content (this is the second part, so I must start fresh).

* Do not write a summary or concluding remarks.

* Strictly follow the output format: `BODY: <Translation>`.

* **Source Text:** A section of an article titled "6 Foods Families Really Ate in the Times of 'Little House on the Prairie'" discussing maple syrup, pies, stew, and popcorn.

2. **Analyze the Source Text (Segment by Segment):**

* *Segment 1:* "In regions with many maple trees, like Wisconsin, where Little House in the Big Woods is set, maple syrup was a key component of homemade candy."

* *Meaning:* In areas with lots of maple trees (like Wisconsin, setting of the first book), syrup was used for candy.

* *Draft:* 在像威斯康星州这样盛产枫树、也是《小木屋》故事发生地的地区，枫糖浆是自制糖果的关键成分。

* *Segment 2:* "The local sugar maples were tapped to make things like maple sugar and taffy candy devoured by the kids in the books."

* *Meaning:* Local sugar maples were tapped for maple sugar and taffy, which kids ate.

* *Draft:* 当地人会采集糖枫树的树液，制作枫糖和太妃糖等糖果，书中的孩子们正是吃这些东西长大的。

* *Segment 3:* "Pies ~UserGI15633745/GettyImages"

* *Meaning:* This looks like a caption or a stray tag. I should translate it or omit it depending on context. Usually, in a translation task, if it's a caption, I translate it. If it's a stray tag, I might omit. Given the instruction "Strictly follow format", I will translate it as a caption or just the word "派" (Pie) if it's just a label. Let's look at the structure. It seems to be a caption for the next section. I'll translate it as "派" or "派饼" to be safe, or just leave it out if it's clearly metadata. However, looking at the text flow, it seems to be a header for the next paragraph. I will translate it as "派饼" (Pies).

* *Segment 4:* "Snow candy wasn’t the only sweet treat on the frontier."

* *Meaning:* Snow candy wasn't the only sweet thing.

* *Draft:* 雪糖并不是边疆地区唯一的甜食。

* *Segment 5:* "As Caroline "Ma" Ingalls often showed in the series, baking pies with seasonal produce was a comforting slice of pioneer life."

* *Meaning:* As Ma Ingalls showed, baking pies with seasonal food was comforting.

* *Draft:* 正如卡罗琳“妈妈”英格尔斯在剧中经常展示的那样，用当季食材烤制派饼是拓荒生活中令人慰藉的一部分。

* *Segment 6:* "Both practical and portable, pies could almost always be found at frontier celebrations and social events."

* *Meaning:* Practical and portable, pies were at parties.

* *Draft:* 既实用又便于携带，派饼几乎总是出现在边疆的庆祝活动和社交聚会上。

* *Segment 7:* "From savory chicken to classic apple, just about anything could be baked into the simple pie crust made of flour, lard, and a little salt."

* *Meaning:* From chicken to apple, anything went in the simple crust (flour, lard, salt).

* *Draft:* 从咸鲜的鸡肉派到经典的苹果派，几乎任何食材都可以放入由面粉、猪油和少许盐制成的简单派皮中烘烤。

* *Segment 8:* "In The Long Winter , Ma even makes a green pumpkin pie out of unripe pumpkins following a premature cold snap, seasoning the fruit chunks just like she would an apple filling."

* *Meaning:* In "The Long Winter", Ma made a green pumpkin pie using unripe pumpkins after an early freeze, treating them like apples.

* *Draft:* 在《漫长的冬天》中，妈妈甚至用未成熟的南瓜制作了绿南瓜派。在早寒来袭后，她就像处理苹果馅料一样，将这些果块调味。

* *Segment 9:* "The settlers’ use of unexpected ingredients like green pumpkins, snow, and even snake meat was simply an extension of the ingenuity required to make it on the frontier."

* *Meaning:* Using weird ingredients (pumpkins, snow, snake) was just showing ingenuity to survive.

* *Draft:* 拓荒者使用像未成熟南瓜、雪，甚至蛇肉这样意想不到的食材，仅仅是体现了在边疆生存所需的足智多谋。

* *Segment 10:* "Stew Plateresca/GettyImages"

* *Meaning:* Caption for Stew. I will translate as "炖菜".

* *Segment 11:* "Modern home cooks have long turned to the Crockpot for hands-off dinners made by tossing in whatever ingredients they have on hand and letting them simmer."

* *Meaning:* Modern cooks use slow cookers. Frontier families had stew.

* *Draft:* 现代家庭主妇长期以来一直使用慢炖锅来制作“懒人晚餐”，只需把手头有的食材扔进去，然后慢炖即可。拓荒家庭也有类似的做法：炖菜。

* *Segment 12:* "Unlike the canned concoction that stood in for the Ingalls’ stew on the show, frontier-era stew was typically a homemade mixture of leftover meat bits, root vegetables, and even stale bread."

* *Meaning:* Unlike the canned stuff on TV, real stew was homemade with leftovers.

* *Draft:* 与剧中用来代替英格尔斯一家炖菜的罐头成品不同，拓荒时代的炖菜通常是自制的，由剩下的肉块、根茎类蔬菜甚至陈面包混合而成。

* *Segment 13:* "Sometimes that meant beef stew; other times it meant muskrat stew, but much of the time, it meant " Never-Go-Bad Perpetual Soup ," a recipe described in Horace Kephart’s 1910 cookbook, The Book of Camping and Woodcraft: A Guidebook for Those Who Travel in the Wilderness ."

* *Meaning:* Sometimes beef, sometimes muskrat, but mostly "Never-Go-Bad Perpetual Soup" from Horace Kephart's book.

* *Draft:* 有时是牛肉炖菜，有时是海狸肉炖菜，但更多时候，它指的是“永不腐坏永续汤”，这是霍勒斯·凯弗哈特1910年的食谱书《露营与森林工艺：给荒野旅行者的指南》中描述的一道菜。

* *Segment 14:* "Much like it sounds, it contained pretty much everything but the kitchen sink simmered in a pot that was "always kept hot" and with "forever changing" flavors."

* *Meaning:* Like the name suggests, it had everything (but the kitchen sink - idiom for everything), kept hot, changing flavors.

* *Draft:* 正如其名，它几乎包含了“除了厨房水槽以外的一切”，在始终保持“温热”的锅中慢炖，口味也“不断变化”。

* *Segment 15:* "Perpetual or not, stew was typically eaten with fresh bread—like the sourdough biscuits and salt-rising bread Ma makes throughout the series—to soak up the hot broth and add some more sustenance to the meal."

* *Meaning:* Stew eaten with bread (sourdough, salt-rising) to soak up broth.

* *Draft:* 不管是永续汤还是普通炖菜，人们通常搭配新鲜面包食用——就像妈妈在剧中制作酸面团饼干和盐起面包那样——用来吸收热汤，并为这顿饭增加更多营养。

* *Segment 16:* "Popcorn Ivaylo Nikolov/GettyImages"

* *Meaning:* Caption for Popcorn. I will translate as "爆米花".

* *Segment 17:* "The Little House crew may have been born a few decades before the movie theater boom, but what they did have was popcorn ."

* *Meaning:* LH characters were before movie theaters, but they had popcorn.

* *Draft:* 《小木屋》中的角色们虽然出生在电影院繁荣的前几十年，但他们拥有的却是爆米花。

* *Segment 18:* "An Indigenous invention passed down to European settlers, the simple snack was made by popping corn kernels in metal cylinders that spun on an axle over the fire."

* *Meaning:* Indigenous invention, passed to settlers. Popped in metal cylinders over fire.

* *Draft:* 这是一种土著发明的零食，传给了欧洲定居者。制作方法简单，只需将玉米粒放入在火上旋转的金属筒中爆炒。

* *Segment 19:* "Many colonial families even ate the crunchy food with cream and sugar for breakfast, akin to an early version of the dry cereal we eat with milk today."

* *Meaning:* Colonists ate it with cream/sugar for breakfast, like early dry cereal.

* *Draft:* 许多殖民时期的家庭甚至会在早餐时将这种脆脆的食物配以奶油和糖食用，这类似于我们现在喝牛奶吃的干谷物食品的早期版本。

* *Segment 20:* "More Like This: Related Tags FOOD History CANDY CAKES BOOKS FOOD HISTORY ANIMALS GAME ENTERTAINMENT TV Home / FOOD"

* *Meaning:* These are tags and navigation links. I should translate them to maintain the "body" feel, or omit if they are clearly UI elements. The prompt asks to translate the text. Usually, tags are translated or omitted. Given the strictness, I will translate them but keep them distinct.

* *Draft:* 更多内容：相关标签食物历史糖果蛋糕书籍食物历史动物游戏娱乐电视首页 / 食物

3. **Review and Refine:**

* *Flow Check:* The translation needs to sound natural in Chinese.

* *Specific Terms:*

* "Little House in the Big Woods": 《小木屋在大森林》

* "Little House on the Prairie": 《小木屋》

* "The Long Winter": 《漫长的冬天》

* "Ma": 妈妈

* "Crockpot": 慢炖锅

* "Never-Go-Bad Perpetual Soup": “永不腐坏永续汤”

* "Horace Kephart": 霍勒斯·凯弗哈特

* "The Book of Camping and Woodcraft": 《露营与森林工艺》

* "Salt-rising bread": 盐起面包

* *Formatting:* The source text has captions like "~UserGI15633745/GettyImages". I will translate the word "Pies" and "Stew" and "Popcorn" as headers, and ignore the user ID strings as they are metadata, or just translate the word if it looks like a header. The prompt says "Strictly follow format". I will treat "Pies", "Stew", "Popcorn" as section headers.

* *Refining Segment 1:* "In regions with many maple trees..." -> 在像威斯康星州这样盛产枫树、也是《小木屋在大森林》故事发生地的地区，枫糖浆是自制糖果的关键成分。

* *Refining Segment 2:* "The local sugar maples were tapped..." -> 当地人采集糖枫树的树液，制作枫糖和太妃糖等糖果，书中的孩子们正是吃这些东西长大的。
