The history of food and nutrition has been an integral part of everyday life for thousands of years, or rather a vital part of every day. It is connected to the human instinct for self-preservation and to the entire spectrum of emotions.
Therefore, it is marked by (historical and cultural) spaces, processes and events. Food quickly went from an existential necessity to an indicator of social status, ethical and religious identity, political and even sexual identity. The history of food represents one of the historiographical directions that can be approached in a distinctly interdisciplinary manner. The book you have in front of you offers the reader suggestions and in-depth analyses of various collective and individual experiences.
