有这么一种味道，但它深藏在你记忆深处，但只要一闻到，立马就能勾起你的食欲。
它，就是国民美食——泡面。
冉冉上升的轻烟，加上一桶方便面是回家列车上、火车站的标配。
校园宿舍，门口也经常会飘来一阵阵泡面的香味....
在所有的泡面中，英大自己就最爱「康师傅红烧牛肉面」，配上鸡蛋，简直美味！
老外还盘点了中国最好吃的十款泡面，一起来看看！

然鹅，就是这种曾经火爆全球的泡面，在中国的销量逐渐降低了...
根据世界方便面协会的数据显示，2016年全球的方便面销量骤降17%。
But by 2016 those sales had tumbled to 38.5 billion packets, according to the World Instant Noodle Association. That's a drop of almost 17%.
但是，世界方便面协会的数据显示，到2016年，方便面的销量已骤降至385亿包，跌幅近17%。
而据BBC的最新的深入分析，主要原因还是出在我们中国身上。
BBC：为什么中国方便面的销量已经过了黄金时期？
报道中，BBC主要提出了4种原因。
1中国消费者的生活质量提高了
随着现在生活条件越来越好，吃饭不仅仅只是“填饱肚子”。现在的消费者追求健康的搭配、细腻的口感。
这样一来，方便面自然不是消费者的首选。
The decline of instant noodle sales shows a shift in China's consumption patterns. Consumers are more interested in life quality than just filling their bellies these days.
方便面销量的下降也说明了中国消费模式的转变。如今，与只是填饱肚子相比，消费者更注重生活质量。
2人口迁移
另一方面，方便面最大的消费群体就是农民工。为了在大城市中省钱，他们经常会选择价格低廉的泡面。
而现在由于偏远的农村地区，已经慢慢发展起来，涌向城市的农民工的数量逐渐减少。
也因此，购买泡面的人自然就少了不少！
Until 2014 the number of rural Chinese who had moved to cities had been on the rise.
直到2014年，中国涌向城市的农民工的数量还在上涨。
But that trend has now reversed for two consecutive years.
然而，这种趋势如今已经连续两年朝相反的方向发展了。
3基础设施改善
20年前，中国旅行的主要出行工具还是火车。当时，方便面就是火车餐饮的主力军。
现在，动车、高铁越来越普及，大大缩短了旅行时间。另外，车站里一些快餐店提供的饮食也非常多样化。泡面的销量的降低也不足为奇了。
But Chinese trains and stations have improved. Journeys are quicker, and the range of food options are far more international - meaning noodle sales on the railways have fallen.
然而，中国的火车和车站已经改进了。旅程变得更快了，而且食品选择的范围也更国际化了，这意味着方便面在铁路系统的销量下降了。
4外卖的兴起
最后一点，也是最关键的，外卖的兴起大大的冲击了方便面的市场。
那些懒癌晚期的患者，平时在家，只要动动手指，就能吃到美食！价格虽没有泡面有优势，但胜在菜品多样！
Their menus are undoubtedly more expensive than a pot of instant noodles. But these meals can still be inexpensive. And arguably more tasty.
外卖的饭菜无疑比一碗方便面要贵，但它们还是便宜的，而且可能更美味。
上面四点，追根究底还是因为中国人民生活水平提高了。人们在追求健康的生活时，吃泡面的频率自然就少了。
这10款泡面中，你最吃过几种？
