This book focuses on food and meals consumed during travel since
the transport revolution and examines the ways in which the
introduction of new forms of transport (propelled by steam and
petrol engines), not only affected the way people travel but also
led to a transformation in the way we eat. Eating on board a train
is different from eating on a ship, and the same is true for other
forms of transport. Such differences are not simply a question of
quality or variations of menu, a unique history has defined each of
these different situations, a history which is still largely to be
studied. This volume contains contributions from a mix of
established food historians and young researchers. Social and
economic history overlap with cultural history approaches, and
forays into the fields of linguistics and art, confirm that the
field of Food History, and more generally Food Studies, are by
definition a fields of transdisciplinary and border research. This
volume will be of interest for scholars within the field of food
history, food studies and food culture, as well as social and
cultural historians dealing with industrialization or social
policy.
