（24-25高一下·云南昆明·期中）When I call Sherry Pocknett for the first time, she’s on her way out the door to pick mushrooms. But then she invites me up to her restaurant, Sly Fox Den Too. Pocknett is one of the people best known for making indigenous (土著的) foods. Her restaurant, opened in 2021, is her own way of using her people’s knowledge to feed Americans today. And she hopes the menu shows the width and depth of indigenous foods.
Pocknett’s menu is based on a simple idea: “The food I grew up with,” she says. She cooks what’s local and what’s in season. I watch Pocknett prepare venison (鹿肉) topped with onion (洋葱) rings, which, she admits, aren’t exactly a deep-rooted tradition; they’re “from a mix” , she says, “but I just love them.”
Pocknett works on a reduction of beach plums (海滨李) to pair with the venison. To wash it all down, there are pots full of iced tea made from boiled sassafras (檫树) roots. Even if you’ve never heard of this common North American tree, you probably know the taste — it was long the key part in root beer. The meal recreates foods from a traditional festival in 1621.
Restaurants specializing in Native American food are not so common — but a small number of indigenous cooks with great love are working to raise their profile (形象). Owamni, a restaurant in Minneapolis focuses on indigenous food, won the James Beard Foundation Award for Best New Restaurant in 2022. The Sioux Chef is a company working on indigenous foods, too. Its owner Sean Sherman and his team are working tirelessly toward the day when “people will find an indigenous restaurant easily in America, experiencing all the richness of the varied original American cultures.”

A．Seasonal. B．Plant-based. C．High in price. D．Limited in variety.
149．What does the underlined phrase “wash it all down” probably refer to?

A．She leaves food for the locals.
B．She is very choosy about what she eats.
C．She draws inspiration from local historical traditions.
D．She is known for mixing indigenous and international tastes.
