As Long as we Both Shall Eat is a culinary history of wedding
feasts. Examining the various food customs associated with weddings
in America and around the world, Claire Stewart not only provides a
rich account of the foods most loved and frequently served at
wedding celebrations, she also offers a glimpse into the customs
and celebrations themselves, as they are experienced in the West
and in various other cultures. She sheds light on the historical
and contemporary significance of wedding food, and explores
patterns of the varieties of conspicuous consumption linked to
American wedding feasts in particular. There are stories of
celebrity excess, and the book is peppered with accounts of lavish
strange-but-true wedding tales. The antics of wealthy socialites
and celebrities is a topic rich for exploration, and the telling of
their exploits can be used to track the fads and changes in
conventional and contemporary wedding feasts and celebrations. From
cocktail hours to wedding cakes, showers to brunches, the food we
enjoy to celebrate the joining of life partners helps bring us
together, no matter our differences. Readers are treated to a tasty
trip down the aisle in this entertaining and lively account of
nuptial noshing.
