The Oxford Symposium on Food & Cookery celebrated its thirtieth
anniversary in 2011. In keeping with this happy event, celebration
was the subject of this year's meeting. Symposiasts have taken
their usual broad and generous approach to the topic. So papers
range in geographical relevance from highland Equador through
Transylvania, Anatolia, Congo-Brazzaville, Iceland, and old Los
Angeles. Chronologically too, several periods are addressed:
ancient Rome, Ptolomaic Egypt, Ottoman Turkey, Georgian Dublin, and
Victorian London. The occasions of celebration considered run from
wedding breakfasts, birthday parties, Easter, harvest festival, and
Passover, while the sorts of celebration include banquets, drinking
bouts, the Icelandic thorrablot, and election day feasts. Authors
include from America, Jonathan Brumberg-Kraus, Anthony Buccini,
Sharon Hudgins, Charles Perry; from Turkey, Aylin Tan and Priscilla
Mary Isin; from England, Robert Appelbaum, Andrew Dalby,
Christopher Grocock, Gillian Riley, David C. Sutton, and from
Israel, Susan Weingarten.
