Martinez’s evocative ethnography of bread and political stability in Jordan is a prime example of how minute attention to everyday food practices can yield deep analytical insights into the workings of a state. Its publication coincides with another recent book on bread in the region, Jessica Barnes’s Staple Security: Bread and Wheat in Egypt (2022). A political scientist himself and largely addressing comparative political sciences, Martinez makes good use of his long-term ethnographic fieldwork with bakers and inspectors in Amman, the capital city of Jordan, to explore how the state is performed through and by the everyday practices that sustain the national bread subsidy system. Martinez’s theoretical framework centers on Judith Butler’s notion of performativity and is greatly enhanced...

They had clung to the house, and to their independence, beyond the point that they could live safely on their own. When frequent 911 calls became the norm, the decision to move to assisted living seemed obvious, even long overdue. But what to do about what was left behind? We had a family museum filled with objects and memorabilia from my parents’ seventy years of married life, and even older keepsakes from my grandparents, stored securely in closets, cupboards, drawers, and neatly boxed in cartons stacked high in storage rooms. My mother dated and labeled, stored and preserved everything, until she couldn’t—until, as she called it, pieces of her mind went missing. At first, tearing into my mother’s boxes and opening closets and drawers felt intrusive, almost voyeuristic. Throughout my childhood, closets and cupboards held...

Once my short arms could reach all the way to the butter compartment in the refrigerator door, my family would find little toothmarks, claw marks, in the resident cubes. Neither underfed nor suffering from an eating disorder, I was simply helping myself to unbridled unctuous delight, found fortuitously close at hand. A step beyond wanting my bread buttered on both sides, this rogue partaking was an unabashed foray into pure sensation. Krishna ran with butter in his hands, stuffed into his mouth, smeared on his face. No wonder the ardent gopis, those devotional female cowherds, couldn’t stay away from him. Num-num-num-num-num. Hot buttered pursuit. Well, butter my buns and call me a biscuit. Please. Butter came out of Africa (like the rest of us). It’s surmised that 10,000 years ago some fortunate nomadic...

Facing west, the forest undulates over hills. Turn north, and in the clean morning July air, I can see the Italian Alps. Despite the 2022 summer heat wave and a drought that began with a parched winter, there is still snow at the highest altitudes. Face south and the hills abruptly flatten into Po River Valley plains, strikingly verdant with irrigated rice paddies. East, a small, ordered vineyard, just a few hectares, disrupts the tangle of forest green. I am an outsider here in Lessona, a wine denomination in the larger Alto Piemonte wine region in the northeastern reaches of Piemonte in Northern Italy. My host is a sommelier employed by one of the region’s most notable wineries. In her mind’s eye, and then in her description aloud, she traces the boundaries where the vines grew a century ago.

Indeed, here in the UK, a food education charity, TastEd, recently won a BBC Food and Farming award for their innovative approaches to food education in English primary schools. Writers like Michael Pollen and Alice Waters have long expounded on the importance of the “table” as a tool for civilization. But are these two spaces really the only ones where we learn about food? In an age of mass media, public health campaigns, television cookery shows, and social media influencers, our food education comes from a plethora of sources, some accurate, others less so. In the edited volume Food Information, Communication and Education, various scholars consider the ways in which knowledge about food is communicated and, in turn, how this knowledge is then “accepted, interpreted, adapted or contested” (p. 1)...

In recent years, scholars have argued that contemporary chefs are “experts” and “opinion leaders” (Matta 2019) who incorporate sustainable practices into their culinary labor and identities (DeSoucey and Demetry 2016). Instead, I argue that chefs must tame broad definitions of sustainability within the practicalities of their everyday labor. As opposed to sustainability being a clear and taken-for-granted practice, in this article I illustrate how the proliferation of sustainability complicates the practices and subjectivities of chefs in unforeseen ways. In some instances, chefs orientate their professional identities around notions of sustainability. Whereas in other cases, it is treated with scepticism. Drawing on the ethnographic data, I show how the introduction of the Michelin Sustainability Award and the rise and misuse of sustainability within Western societies results in its general meaninglessness. Notwithstanding the tensions this causes, sustainability nevertheless remains a topic the chefs I interviewed must confront. This article highlights these tensions and how a handful of British chefs navigate them. Overall, it reveals the ways in which these chefs attempt to concretize abstract definitions of sustainability in ways grounded within the practicalities of being an elite chef.","PeriodicalId":429420,"journal":{"name":"Gastronomica: The Journal of Critical Food Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135550381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, I sat down and made a list of all the times I’ve moved to a new place (an occupational hazard for precarious academics). I counted nineteen. Some of those moves required just shifting my possessions to a different habitat within a city; others involved changing continents, social insurance, health care, pension plan, and life stage. Some were for longer, some for shorter, and some for very short stays (in my mid-thirties, I moved seven times in as many years). During those periods of vagabondism, I learned to appreciate food as a means of connecting to new places and a constant that could outlast relocating. The pieces in this issue explore food’s various relationships to place. Place is central to the academic study of food as well as to lived personal, professional, and political engagements with food.

In my experience studying food systems, the term is all about land and how to restore ecosystem health—for example, through cover cropping—that has been degraded by conventional agricultural practices. Recently, I met some cannabis growers in Vermont who claim that their product, grown inside, is regenerative. What then counts as regenerative farming? In her latest book, Healing Grounds, Liz Carlisle pushes her readers to think more deeply about how we use the term “regenerative farming,” as it is often overused and loses its meaning. What is being regenerated, why, and by whom? Carlisle encourages us to think about people, the group that is so often left out of scientific conversations about farming. So-called regenerative farming practices, often touted as new and innovative, generally have deep-rooted histories within marginalized communities.

The wedding party of the rat lord takes inspiration from the festivities for late medieval (1400–1600) warlords, and it includes rodent equivalents of the great performers and cultural influencers of the age. Analysis reveals the gendered division of labor and status in the duties of food preparation in a late medieval (rodent) warrior household with male chefs in charge of flavoring and carving at the top of the kitchen hierarchy and female servants performing manual labor outside at the bottom. For both rats and humans, the picture scroll further demonstrates that food played a powerful role in the representation of authority.","PeriodicalId":429420,"journal":{"name":"Gastronomica: The Journal of Critical Food Studies","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135550379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
