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; digestion; famine; hunger; gluttony; food and sex; food and
gender; breastfeeding; Virgo Lactans; 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.
