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.
