This book examines the history, archaeology, and anthropology of
Mexican taste. Contributors analyze how the contemporary identity
of Mexican food has been created and formed through concepts of
taste, and how this national identity is adapted and moulded
through change and migration.wing on case studies with a focus on
Mexico, but also including Israel and the United States, the
contributors examine how local and national identities, the global
market of gastronomic tourism, and historic transformations in
trade, production, the kitchen space and appliances shape the taste
of Mexican food and drink. Chapters include an exploration of the
popularity of Mexican beer in the United States by Jeffrey M.
Pilcher, an examination of the experience of eating chapulines in
Oaxaca by Paulette Schuster and Jeffrey H. Cohen, an investigation
into transformations of contemporary Yucatecan gastronomy by
Steffan Igor Ayora-Diaz, and an afterword from Richard Wilk.
Together, the contributors demonstrate how taste itself is shaped
through a history of social and cultural practices.
