Digesting Food Studies—Episode 118: Reading Menus as History
https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2637411/

What’s on the menu? A lot, it turns out, and we’re not just talking about hors d’oeuvres and tasting combos. From gravy stains to hand-written notes, menus are an important source of information about cultural histories, social patterns, and human migration.

This episode considers menus as historical records. Alexia Moyer shares excerpts of meal planning from Northern Cookbook, and guest Koby Song-Nichols explains his 4-part methodology for menu analysis, discussed in “Can Historians Order off the Menu?” from Canadian Food Studies. (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v11i2.682).

And, serving up a scoopful of DFS afters, Anson Hunt weighs in with his perspective on Koby’s article and the ways that menus bridge conversations between front, back, and middle of house.

Looking at a few videos & likely will some more because so far I'm just getting superbly confused as to why aparently some people use the entirety of their kitchen countertops as cutting boards, mixing bowls, cooling racks, trivets & hammering practice spots...

Overall in my kitchen redesign/repair project set I'm not sure yet if I'll even keep any cabinets, nevermind counters/countertops but I'm still looking around to see what might actually work & hope I find something sensible soon.
