     summary: Patterns reflect a romanticized vision of authenticity that generally falls to the responsibility of the women, and in the case of the Magro Food Village, women from some unidentified point in the past. Her image is featured on a line of sweet treats and accompanied by the story of her recipes—lost and found again, and used to recreate her desserts, such as jam tarts, fruitcakes, and Maltese pastini, for visitors to the Magro Food Village.

     summary: Key Words: Singapore, museums, hawker food, memory, nation building Introduction From Berlin’s Deutsches Currywurst Museum to Seoul’s Museum Kimchikan (formerly Kimchi Museum), food is increasingly taking center­ stage in museums. An article published in the local magazine Her World in 2011, for example, used the phrase in its title, “Singapore recipes: It’s makan time,” telling readers they could “learn to whip up a feast of local favourites” and, to clarify exactly what that meant, “we share six such Singapore dishes” (Her World 2011).

     summary: The first collection to bring together various works on fringe food communities throughout time and space, Food Cults offers readers a fascinating insight into commonalities across these groups. From juicing and elective restrictive diets to media-fueled gluttony and marijuana categorized as a vegetable, essay topics in Food Cults demonstrate the dynamism of community eating rituals and reveal the fleeting promises of longevity, fertility, happiness, thinness, and countless other cultural ideals that perpetuate cult belief.

        date: 2018
       words: 1499
      flesch: 56
     summary: Chapter 4 describes how the enduring stereotypes of Chinese food are embodied by the dish “chop suey,” an invention in the US that became a mainstay of Chinese American food and is even today an icon of its identity. Through historical and ethnographic accounts and by focusing on individual “moments” in Chinese American food history in the form of specific dishes, restaurants, entrepreneurs, cookbooks, and films, Liu argues that Chinese American food is not only translocal and transnational, it is simultaneously authentically Chinese and authentically American.

     summary: By: Cherry Levin Despite the rather clever title of Stewart’s book, As Long As We Both Shall Eat: A History of Wedding Food and Feasts, this book does not deliver for readers interested in a clear and detailed exploration of wedding feasts. Also in her chapter 8 discussion of shark fin soup, Stewart essentializes ethnic differences by comparing ways in which other immigrants from Palestine, Italy, Mexico, Japan, Korea, Greece, and Germany use weddings to celebrate, as she argues, “affirmation that the country of origin has not been forgotten” (89).

     summary: © American Folklore Society 2017 Child and Beck’s view of croissants is both expansive and emphatic: The most delicious of French croissants, to our mind, are those called croissants de boulanger, which are made of risen yeast- milk-and-flour dough that is flattened out, slathered with butter, folded in three, and rolled and folded again three times as though you were making French puff pastry. Michelle is the chef/proprietor of the Ohio- based Pâtisserie Lallier and since 2009 she has provided “French pastries and desserts” to numerous businesses in the city of Columbus, in addition to maintaining a personal presence at a number of local farmers’ markets (Photo 3).

     summary: The phrase Chinese-American restaurant may be less accurate than Chinese restaurant in the U.S., but it may also reflect the idea that the Chinese restaurant by sheer global positioning is already altered in some ways that may be different from Chinese restaurants in China or any other country (e.g., Chinese restaurants in Korea or Italy.) Originally, Chinese restaurants in America catered to Chinese immigrants, but over time as they served varying ethnic populations within the U.S., they eventually began catering to a western palate (Barbas 2003).

     summary: From the crumbly dry sandwiches people ate on trains with tobacco spit soaked floors of the 1820s, to the grand cuisine served on “la belle epoch’s” Orient Express and the puttering post war “automat” microwaved dishes, to the death of railway food with the invention of commercial flight and Amtrak, this is a railroad story that inspires both disgust and delight. Food on the Rails, a magnificent work that tells the tale of food served at high speeds, will keep both train hobbyists and food scholars riveted.

     summary: “The adage ‘eat to live, not live to eat’ translates, in medieval terms, to a search for a good equilibrium, aided by proper food, of the constitutive mix of the human body which characterizes it or their complexion(s)” (Jacquart 2006:260).1 Proper diet could, of course, be supplemented with medicines, fumigations, bleeding, cupping and a wide range of other treatments—but proper diet was considered fundamental to human health. Such foods are the yolks of eggs, the flesh and innards of young fowl and small birds, that is, partridges and pheasants, and scaly fish with good sauces” (Green 2002:81).

When I get a fresh, whole big-bodied fish like Lake Michigan whitefish, Lake Superior lake trout, or a wild-caught salmon from the Pacific Northwest, I generally use Irma Rombauer’s recipe for Baked Fish in the 1946 edition of the Joy of Cooking (New York: Bobbs-Merrill, 230) as my crutch, yet what I do is as much in opposition to the recipe as according to it.

     summary: By identifying and disparaging food trends, Cowin cements her position as a cultural elite; she and the judges further assert their authority as cultural elites by judging the value of the dishes prepared by the cheftestants, despite the fact that Cowin ultimately praises dishes that do the best job of highlighting the “trendy” ingredient or technique in question. This rejection of the common—the popular—is precisely what Cowin, as an ambassador for the cultural cognoscenti, is doing when she states that certain food trends (more accurately described as popular methods of preparing and serving food, particularly in the restaurant environment) “should be buried.”

      flesch: 45
     summary: Where Chapter 1 focuses on Israeli desires to eat large quantities of inexpensive food in order to get the most value for money, in Chapter 3, Avieli complicates his analysis of food value, arguing that eating Italian food makes Israelis feel more like members of the Mediterranean community (framed as positive), rather than members of the Middle Eastern community (framed as negative). Most importantly, the book affirms the delicate balance that researchers must maintain to negotiate insider/outsider status when writing about communities where they are members: where insider status can give access yet hinder analysis.

     summary: Through programs like “Eating Through The Archives,” Before ‘Farm to Table’ works to stress the need for multidisciplinarity in food studies, the importance of re- examining and contextualizing the notion of foodways, and how critical it is to apply global frameworks to the study of food cultures. Since its inception, Before ‘Farm to Table’ has embraced a collaborative working model, with a multidisciplinary team of scholars designing a wide range of programs in order to probe the function of food in the early modern world.

     summary: Review by: Nic Hartmann ____________________________________________________________ Whether in university towns or large metropolitan areas, café culture has long been a space for intellectual discussion, social change, and community gathering. Starting with the relatively young community of Odessa (founded in 1794), Pinsker’s analysis of café culture within the city clearly highlights that Odessa—as a young, multiethnic, and diverse city with a large population of newcomers from around the world, including a large population of Jews—is unlike other cities of the Russian empire.

     summary: The author demonstrates how, in the era of post-emancipation, food practices became a significant tool for African Americans to distance themselves from the debasement of slavery by revealing their transition through food choice, dining etiquette, hygiene, and meal regularity. “W.E.B. Du Bois, Respectable Child-Rearing, and the Representative Black Body,” Chapter 3, reveals the anxieties felt by African American food reformers as specifically set forth in Du Bois’s writings.

     summary: The use of burnt milk fats as stuffing for paranthas fits perfectly in today’s narrative of zero food waste and sustainable use of food products. Pierre Bourdieu, in his seminal work Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste (1984), looked at the patterns of food consumption among French people and illustrated how distinctions in taste signified one’s class within French society.

     summary: Chapter 2 profiles the postwar effects of this wartime expansion for American farmers by conducting a close analysis of the use of American agrarian myth in the writings of the American Country Life Association, an organization whose mission was to advocate for rural citizens and farmers as essential to democracy. Linked to a democratic political vision since the era of Thomas Jefferson’s influential writings on the yeoman farmer as the ideal democratic citizen, American agrarian myth not only asserts the exceptional moral, social, and political virtue provided by pre-industrial family farming, but the exceptional character of Americans as a people empowered and shaped by the collective experience of agrarian life.

     summary: Negotiating negative perceptions of local food is imperative to maintaining cultural identity. Keywords: livermush, pork, thrift, food shame, community festivals, North Carolina, regional foods Postmodern food studies scholars have often examined questions of identity and how personhood may be influenced by what an individual eats, as food is an important philosophical subject that structures what counts as a person in a given culture (Curtin 1992: 4).

     summary: Why does a recipe in Noble Boke Off Cookry require the bacon to be soaked before use: “tak a litill lard of salt bacon well sodene” (take a little lard of salt bacon well soaked; Napier 1882: 88)? The previously mentioned line about salt bacon shows that at this time bacon is already considered a cured meat, and the third important reference is “a ronde of bacoun” (round of bacon; Kane 1988: C.9.148); although it could mean many things, it likely refers to bacon made from the loin of the pig, such as back bacon, rather than from the belly.

     summary: Contributing to this theme, Daniel S. Margolies’s “A Preliminary Taxonomy of the Blue Ridge Taco” focuses on the contribution of migrant workers’ foodways in Appalachian culture, while Courtney Balestir’s “Eating to Go” explores Appalachian migration to the Midwest. An audience unfamiliar with Appalachian culture—from migration due to the collapse of the coal industry to the often insular distrust of outsiders—may not easily see how articles and poems may be read as companions to each other.

My main objective here is to bring food sharing economies of the past into conversation with the present to reframe the dominant capitalocentric account of food scarcity and austerity toward one of resiliency and possibility.

       title: Review of: Sameness in Diversity: Food and Globalization in Modern America (Jayasanker): pp. 135-137
        date: 2021
       words: 981
      flesch: 41
     summary: Throughout this chapter and the book as a whole, Jayasanker focuses on mangoes and cilantro: in the 1960s as foods requiring explanation, comparisons, and description and in the 2000s as unremarkable and familiar mainstream ingredients that have been successfully translated into American food. Review by: Claire Schmidt Laresh Jayasanker’s analysis of the impact of globalization on American food rests on a simple thesis: as post-1965 immigration patterns increased choices available in the daily American diet, globalized market forces caused those choices to homogenize through increasingly small numbers of food purveyors.

        date: 2021
       words: 9699
      flesch: 56
     summary: The project expanded the concept of comfort food to include the range of activities included within foodways and also explored the variety of meanings attached to the concept, emphasizing that both “food” and “comfort” are culturally and socially constructed. The exhibit and resources on comfort food, folkloristic approaches to foodways, and oral history methods are posted on a free website (www.foodandculture.org).

     summary: This explains why food can be so comforting on a physiological level—taking us back to a romanticized past inaccessible by other means— and why baking memories stand out to me amidst the monotony of life in lockdown. In physical isolation from friends and family, I have largely replaced social memories with baking memories: bagels, doughnuts, croissants, coconut buns.

        date: 2012
       words: 7814
      flesch: 62
     summary: Even for outsiders without personal experience of the state, Vermont is consistently linked to images of maple syrup, maple trees, and the maple leaf, even if the bottle of Vermont maple syrup on the kitchen table is their only connection to the state. Vermont maple is divided into several categories: Fancy (the lightest in color, and generally the most delicate in flavor), A-Medium Amber (darker, with a more pronounced maple flavor), A-Dark Amber (deeper color and denser flavor), and B (the darkest syrup typically sold to the consumer, with a rich, powerful maple flavor).

     summary: First I will discuss the function of fried chicken jokes in American popular culture, and the way this joke functions as an instance of conversational humor. From D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation (1915), which features white actors in blackface eating fried chicken and throwing the bones in the US House of Representatives, to Lee Daniels’ Precious (2009), which shows the eponymous teenager stealing and eating a bucket of fried chicken, fried chicken has been a folk (and film) motif with a host of meanings, many of which are racially charged.

     summary: This production of authenticity has transformed Kyoto vegetables into value-added craft foods by stimulating in consumers an appetite for the “authentic” taste of a place that has become a nostalgia-laden national touchstone. Kyō yasai is an undefined term that simply means “Kyoto vegetables” and encompasses everything from the shishigatani squash to the newfangled kyō temari tomato.

     summary: This chapter is heavily based on examples, focusing on the Fresh Network’s holistic approach to promoting Vermont food and emphasizing the importance of understanding the contexts of both farming and cooking. This chapter is quite frank about the importance of commerce in the shaping of both food practice and terroir, and its basis in market realities makes the book seem a bit less utopian than other major food literature.

     summary: In contrast to the fast, industrial, convenience, ready-made, or prepared deli foods that characterize food consumption patterns in 2012 (see Jabs and Devine 2006), storm day food harkens back to an earlier time when food was made from scratch and at home. At first glance, storm day food seems to challenge the findings of earlier studies that report a gendered breakdown in terms of what is considered comfort food (men prefer warm, hearty meal-related foods such as casseroles and soup while women opt for the more snack related foods such as chocolate and ice cream) as well as age preferences (younger people prefer snack-related comfort foods compared to those over fifty-five years of age)

       words: 10099
      flesch: 64
     summary: Even today, the place of wedding cake in contemporary wedding receptions represents a shared or common significance through highly symbolic and subjective meanings for all involved. As a result, many brides serve wedding cake, not because they are aware of latent historic or symbolic meaning, but because they wish to fulfill their guests’ expectations.

Perhaps we humans are prone to remembering our youths positively, but these women all spontaneously seemed to agree on well they ate, how rich the variety and particulars of their diets were, and how they did not feel the lack of outside, specialty, or mass-produced foods, even though such foods were available and considered special treats.

     summary: In this history of American dietary reform, Biltekoff argues that dietary choices are a near constant source of anxiety due to the “ongoing expansions in the social significance of dietary health and the moral valence of being a ‘good eater’” (5). From this evidence, Biltekoff demonstrates how the purview of dietary reform movements extends beyond calories, vitamins, organics, and the body mass index, as they endeavor to mold good citizens through good eating.

     summary: Subsequently comfort food became largely devoid of its previous moral judgement, replaced by a sense of shared experience which seemed to endorse one’s belonging to the broader community. The question of whether comfort food is a universal concept or whether it is limited to modern western societies (Jones & Long 2017) elides the many differences which may be between those western countries.

     summary: Keywords: foodways, Jewish food, comfort food, pandemic, COVID-19, embodiment, family food It is a cultural and religious imperative for Jews to pass our knowledge and traditions on to our children and grandchildren, the stories that are told and retold, l’dor v’dor (trans. from the Hebrew, “from generation to generation”).1 A conversation with folklorist Lucy Long a few years ago prompted me to think about “frameworks for exploring food narratives that go beyond just the consumption of food, to acknowledge the ways in which food connects into other domains of life” (Long 2020). Folklorist Chrissy Widmeyer (2021) writes about a related concept,5 which she calls “performative intimacy, … the means through which relationships are performed into being” in reference to the group work involved in making family foods and the community work in making and gifting potato pies for a group of African American women—in both cases, sharing and thus performing, reaffirming, and recreating community.

Food is not always the comfort it is made out to be either, as much of the previous research on comfort food often explores.

As global and local uncertainty swelled in the early pandemic, I derived comfort by drawing upon my knowledge of food and cooking to plan for contingencies—with mixed results.2 Over the years, I had amused myself with thought experiments that imposed constraints on my cooking.

     summary: Food justice alone addresses a food system’s inequities that negatively impact Black people; however, when Black Christians reimagine soul food or eating in a way that is more consistent with theological and social values, it ensures the preservation and survival of Black folk. Carter explains that for Black people, soul food is an expression of identity; it’s how we learn about who we are and where we have been.

     summary: Chapter Sixteen, “Nuevo Sud,” recognizes Southern food as “‘the original fusion cuisine’” (294) and celebrates indigenous, Black, and migrant culinary “creolizations,” both historic and current (300). In part three, “Gentrification (1980s & 1990s),” Edge engages the impact of increasing wealth and urbanization on Southern food culture.

     summary: Isaura Garcia and Sheila Bock submit their co-written article, “Food and the Expressive Culture of Death: Two Perspectives,” which examines the use of food within a course about how people make meanings around death and life. The supposed universality of food, i.e., the claim that everybody eats and therefore food is a universal and universally useful tool, only make sense through an ontological lens−“food is X definitionally,” or even “eating is X definitionally.”

     summary: Using food recipes, therefore, reaches a broad audience in a population with a diverse student body. A third reason for the choice of rhetoric and recipes is that using food recipes as a subject affords students the depth to address complex learning outcomes that include diversity, equity, and inclusion, inherent in which are systems and structures of power—specific mandates of the course learning outcomes.

     summary: In addition to studying the event itself, the deeper question I had in mind for my project was related to chili’s origins and how the original recipe differed from the varieties of chili to be found at the cook-off. I was keenly aware that the chilis at this cook-off were not a Mardin & Lange, Food as Learning Digest: A Journal of Foodways and Culture 10:1 (2023) 66 definitive Burlington style, but more a sampling of the types of chili made by the faculty, staff, and students at Champlain.

     summary: Food offers a universal subject for conversation since everyone has experienced it, and, whether they recognize it or not, they have emotional attachments to food on a personal level. Food similarly seems to be an objective and self-evident category, yet definitions of what can be food differ across cultures.

     summary: Through activities that allow students to compare and contrast their tastes and family foods, such as the Sandwich Activity, educators can help nurture a conversation with students about understanding differences. Their project applied engineering skills to food waste issues in the US, asking through students to identify a food that was culturally relevant to them.

       words: 1526
      flesch: 43
     summary: In chapter three, Muckenhoupt directs us from misconceptions to limitations, shedding light on the five constraints that hindered the development of New England cuisine in the late 18th century: Urbanization and industrialization, the influence of the “New England Kitchen” exhibits, social reformers focused on providing cheap food for the poor, the Colonial Revival, and the relationship between New England elites and their cooks [64]. As Muckenhoupt points out, this movement, while idealizing a nostalgic vision of early New England cuisine, obscured its most destructive facet through a deliberate exclusion of non-white ethnic foods from its narrative “A small subset of New Baruh, Review of Muckenhoupt Digest: A Journal of Foodways and Culture 11 (2025): 67-69 68 England foods – baked beans, pies, brown bread, boiled dinner – were charged with Yankee virtue.”

     summary: Aided by the Industrial Revolution and the expansion of technology and the world market, Danish pork production grew rapidly, allowing farmers to purchase inexpensive grains from abroad and export bacon, particularly to England and in aid of industrialization and the British Empire. In the post- meatball war era, politicians and others are able to reference foods like pork meatballs and halal beef to circumvent directly discussing issues like identity, belonging, Danishness, and migration.

     summary: Such endeavors have also resonated with nation-states’ attempts to increase exports while simultaneously promoting indigenous foods from the Andes. Thus, it is useful to closely examine how food desires are created as if this overlap did not exist, as if foods such as quinoa were still circumscribed to the distant Andes where indigenous people equipped with centuries of agricultural knowledge make a living from its commodification.

     summary: Through family stories and well as popular media, I was told the indigenous man was a historical relic through which we could proudly claim heritage, so long as that heritage did not manifest itself as anything other than Euro-centric. Rhonda R. Dass describes the relationship between indigenous communities and scholars as self-interested eurocentrism where academics, guided by methodologies developed for European immigrants, would periodically return to these communities for professional gain, thus failing to create a thorough and faithful portrayal of the Native American (Otero and Martinez-Rivera 2021).
