Are exotic foodways a form of eating on the move at home? Evidence from two culinary magazines in the ‘long eighties’
Book Contribution - Chapter
Abstract:Exotic foodways become between the end of the 1970s and the first years of the 1990s (hereafter referred to as the ‘long eighties’) a way of self-expression related to the growing demand of discovery of new culinary experiences, progressively expanding as a form of entertainment and means of displaying social status and distinction. Exotic foodways, beyond the move, provide to
consumers, both at home or dining out, a form of illusory journey that embeds an exchange of cultures and a modification of the status of individuals within society. Two culinary magazines Gourmet and PPC -Petits Propos Culinaires are surveyed as potential evidence of the diffusion and features of exotic foodways in the US and UK during the examined period. Gourmet and PPC were magazines that differed for contents, audiences and circulation, but both represented an epicurean mainstream encouraging an aesthetic and cultural approach to food
consumption.
