It offers an overview of what we know about the intentional settling and exploitation of islands for food production, and how this fit wider patterns of food security and colonialism. It departs from previous work in considering both the mid-Atlantic (Azores, Madeira, Canaries, Cabo Verde) and the north Atlantic (Orkney, Shetland, Faro, Iceland) archipelagos together. This essay argues that both northern and southern archipelagoes emerged as major provisioning centers in the fffteenth century; that they provided food for European metropoles, colonial projects and maritime commerce; and that there were broad similarities between northern and southern experiences in the early Atlantic. It shows that when we put food at the center of our analysis, we can rethink the role of islands in the early Atlantic.","PeriodicalId":92780,"journal":{"name":"Global food history","volume":"6 1","pages":"169 - 193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20549547.2020.1803569","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47093878","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}

One proposed solution was central kitchen buildings, which were apartment buildings that had a central kitchen where staff prepared meals for all the residents. I argue that the central kitchen system employed the principles of rationalization and cooperation in order to uphold existing class and gender hierarchies. The paper examines why this solution did not become more popular by contrasting the arguments put in favor of the system with how the system was organized in practice. The wider aim of this paper is to discuss the role played by meanings and practices related to food in definitions of home.","PeriodicalId":92780,"journal":{"name":"Global food history","volume":"7 1","pages":"36 - 57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20549547.2020.1800319","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47083754","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}

King","doi":"10.1080/20549547.2020.1770490","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/20549547.2020.1770490","url":null,"abstract":"Wherever we go in the world, culinary regionalism appears as a potent (and delicious) form of local pride. Here in North Carolina, where I live, aficionados passionately defend the merits of their particular style of barbecue, complete with guides, maps, festivals, and smoke-offs. Eastern Carolina barbecue centers on smoking a whole hog over a wood fire, finished with a vinegar and pepper sauce, while Western Carolina barbecue (also known as Lexington or Piedmont-style) uses only pork shoulder, with a red sauce featuring ketchup, vinegar, and other spices. Either way, real barbecue for partisans in this state means pulled pork – if you’re looking for beef, head west out of the state toward Kansas City or Texas. Yet culinary regionalism offers more than just opportunities for local boosterism and friendly rivalries: it deserves closer consideration as a general phenomenon within food studies and food history. First, though, we need to make a basic distinction between the explanatory potential of culinary regions vs. culinary regionalism. The perspective of the former is enumerative and descriptive, while the perspective of the latter is systemic and comprehensive. Understanding culinary regionalism as a phenomenon goes far beyond naming the seven culinary regions of Mexico, for example, or listing the specialty dishes of each of India’s twenty-eight states. Instead, investigating culinary regionalism involves posing questions such as: Who gets to define culinary regions? When do specific culinary regions matter and why? How do culinary regions and identities emerge, and how do they change? How is culinary regionalism distinct from or related to other forms of regionalism, such as linguistic, ethnic, or economic? Of particular interest here is the relationship between culinary regions and culinary nation: do regional culinary identities rival national culinary identities, or are they mutually constitutive? How do regional and national identities affect one another, and what about the interactions between regional cuisines? Moreover, how are all of these culinary relationships expressed or shaped on the ground by different groups, at different points time? This special issue of Global Food History is devoted to an examination of the dynamics of culinary regionalism in China, through four separate case studies. Globally, one could argue that culinary regionalism reaches its apogee in China: it is the most populous and fourth-largest country in the world, boasting dozens of distinct and historic regional cuisines scattered over a diverse landscape of rice paddies in the east and south, wheat fields in the north, and mountainous pasturelands in the west. This welter of food identities and regions is often defined by province (Sichuanese, Hunanese, Cantonese, etc.), city (Shanghainese, Beijing, Hong Kong, etc.), ethnic groups concentrated in specific regions (Hakka, Uyghur, etc.), or even specific dishes (knife-shaved noodles of Shanxi, Peking roast duc","PeriodicalId":92780,"journal":{"name":"Global food history","volume":"6 1","pages":"85 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20549547.2020.1770490","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42020364","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}

Specifically, I explore how the central government’s strategy to transform the potato from a marginal food into a Chinese national staple opened new possibilities for actors in some marginalized inland regions to reimagine their potato foods as recognized elements of local and wider regional cuisines and culinary identities. In doing so, I also draw attention to the constraints that actors faced in their attempts to reimagine local potato foods, including the sense of ambivalence that continued to surround foods once widely associated with poverty. I discuss these processes of culinary reimagining with reference to potato-growing areas in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in north China and Yunnan Province in the southwest.","PeriodicalId":92780,"journal":{"name":"Global food history","volume":"6 1","pages":"143 - 163"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20549547.2020.1771064","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47559185","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}
