Greasy spoon is a colloquial term for a small, cheap restaurant or diner typically specialising in fried foods.〔(dictionary.com Greasy spoon )〕 According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term originated in the United States〔"greasy spoon" entry, OED〕 and is now used in various English-speaking countries. The name "greasy spoon" is a reference to the typically high-fat, high-calorie menu items such as eggs and bacon. The term has been used to refer to a "small cheap restaurant" since at least the 1920s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Greasy )〕 ==United States== Many typical American greasy spoons focus on fried or grilled food, such as fried eggs, bacon, burgers, hash browns, waffles, pancakes, omelettes, deep fried chicken, and sausages. These are often accompanied by baked beans, french fries, coleslaw, or toast. Soups and chili con carne are generally available. Since the 1970s, many Greek immigrants have entered the business. As a result, gyro and souvlaki meats are now a common part of the repertoire, often served as a side dish with breakfast and as a replacement for bacon or sausage. A full meal may be available for a special price, sometimes called a blue-plate special. Regional fare is often served. Coffee, iced tea, and soft drinks are the typical beverages, and pie and ice cream are popular desserts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「greasy spoon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
