This book explores the rich story of Christmas food and feasting, tracing the history of how our festive menu evolved and inherited elements of pagan ritual, medieval traditions, early modern innovations, Victorian romanticism, and contemporary commercialism. Although it makes reference to global traditions, it focuses specifically on the story of how the British Christmas meal evolved, both on its native shores and beyond. It considers the origins, form, and structure of the modern British Christmas dinner, with its codified menu and iconic festive dishes and drinks. 0It also tells the story of what happened to that meal as it was taken throughout the Empire, becoming entrenched in places most strongly associated with the British Diaspora. In these places, spread across the Globe, keeping a very precise model of Christmas became a key marker of cultural identity. This British Christmas was not unchanging, though; rather, it adapted to new environments, and merged with the Christmases of other cultures encountered to create new traditions. Looking beyond Britain, to places strongly associated with its Diaspora, such as the United States of America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, helps us to understand the cultural significance and meaning of this feast with more complexity. With recipes and menus, this work will help modern readers understand the feasts of Christmas past, and perhaps incorporate some of those old dishes into Christmas-present festivities. 650 0 $a Christmas cooking. 650 0 $a Comfort food. 650 7 $a Christmas cooking. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01752988 650 7 $a Comfort food. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869129 650 7 $a Brauchtum $2 gnd 650 7 $a ErnaÌhrung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Gastmahl $2 gnd 650 7 $a Weihnachten $2 gnd 655 7 $a Cookbooks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01752725 655 7 $a Cookbooks. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Shanahan, Madeline, author. $t Christmas food and feasting $d Lanham : Rowman & Littlefield, [2019] $z 9781442276987 $w (DLC) 2018043466 830 0 $a Meals series. 941 $a 3 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20210122010715.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20200829010420.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20200208014310.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=29212A504A4611EA96B3FA3397128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
