Taramasalata or taramosalata ((ギリシア語:ταραμοσαλάτα), from ''taramas'', from (トルコ語:tarama) 'fish roe'〔"tarama". 〕 + ''salata'' "salad"〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Houghton Mifflin Company )〕) is a Greek and Turkish ''meze'' made from ''tarama'', the salted and cured roe of the cod, carp, or grey mullet mixed with olive oil, lemon juice, and a starchy base of bread or potatoes, or sometimes almonds. Variants may include garlic, scallions, or peppers, or vinegar instead of lemon juice.〔Diane Kochilas, "Greek Food Info", (Tarama )〕〔Ghillie Basan, Jonathan Basan, ''Classic Turkish Cooking'', ISBN 0312156170, p. 68〕 Taramosalata is usually eaten as a ''meze'', a dip for bread or raw vegetables. The color can vary from creamy beige to pink, depending on the type of roe used. Most tarama in commerce is dyed pink.〔 Mass-produced prepared taramasalata is often a bright pink due to the addition of food coloring and low cost ingredients. This type of taramosalata is a cheap alternative to the original, often containing only small quantities of roe and various fillers. In Greece, taramasalata is associated with Clean Monday (''Καθαρά Δευτέρα'', ''Kathará Deutéra''), the first day of Great Lent. ==Name and spelling== Normally, ''tarama'' is the salted roe itself, but sometimes the prepared dish is also called ''tarama''.〔 The spelling taramosalata reflects the Greek, but in English the a spelling is common.〔-a- is the only spelling given in ''The Macquarie Dictionary'' (1995) for Australian English and in ''Chambers Dictionary'' (1994), ''Collins English Dictionary'' 6th Edition (2003), ''Concise Oxford Dictionary'' 9th Edition (1995), and The Times English Dictionary (2000), all of which represent British English but indicate alternate American spellings and indicate nothing here. -o- is also given, but second so that -a- is preferred, by Longman Dictionary of the English Language (1988) (British publisher). The word was not given at all a few decades ago such as in ()Webster's ''New Collegiate Dictionary'' (1977) or their three-volume ''3rd International'' (1971) and is now given with -a- in The American Heritage Dictionary, see note above.〕 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「taramasalata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
