The commercial meal experience in Context: An exploration with frequent travelers
This qualitative-exploratory study is grounded in data obtained from in-depth interviews relating to commercial meal experiences that are essential when dining out near home, during work, and when traveling. Previous studies have examined meal experiences, but have not differentiated in-depth between the dining out contexts described here, particularly the requirements of a meal in the workplace. The interviewees (N = 18) were frequent travelers and therefore had substantial experience of dining out when traveling and in the intercept between traveling and business. Our theorizing from the data suggests that the essence of the commercial meal when dining out near home is an experience of ‘Exotic Familiarity; ’ during work, it is an experience of ‘Diversion from Work’ and ‘Ensuring Confidentiality; ’ and when traveling, it is an experience of ‘Safe Convenience’ and ‘Clichéd Authenticity.’ We conclude by contributing a model of the commercial meal experience, discussing the implications of the findings for theory and practice, and by offering suggestions for future research.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science is a peer-reviewed journal that explicitly focuses on the interface of food science and gastronomy. Articles focusing only on food science will not be considered. This journal equally encourages both scientists and chefs to publish original scientific papers, review articles and original culinary works. We seek articles with clear evidence of this interaction. From a scientific perspective, this publication aims to become the home for research from the whole community of food science and gastronomy.
IJGFS explores all aspects related to the growing field of the interaction of gastronomy and food science, in areas such as food chemistry, food technology and culinary techniques, food microbiology, genetics, sensory science, neuroscience, psychology, culinary concepts, culinary trends, and gastronomic experience (all the elements that contribute to the appreciation and enjoyment of the meal. Also relevant is research on science-based educational programs in gastronomy, anthropology, gastronomic history and food sociology. All these areas of knowledge are crucial to gastronomy, as they contribute to a better understanding of this broad term and its practical implications for science and society.
