Description

Here is the Call For Papers we circulated: "The Medieval Club of New York seeks papers from any discipline that speak to the theme of food. Suggested topics include but are not limited to the following: diets—seasonal, penitential, vegetarian, kosher, means-related, gender-appropriate, medically prescribed; hospitality; conviviality; table manners; eating and serving utensils; famine; hunger; gluttony; food and sex; food and gender; the production, consumption, and theology of Eucharistic bread; the occasions, locations, and rituals of eating together; food preservation; the ingredients, instructions, and sharing of recipes; the raw and the cooked; food guilds—their regulations and trade secrets; banquets and carnival; fasting and breaking fast; food on the move, local and distant, from place of production to market to place of consumption."
