Drink, Meals and Social Boundaries

  • Chapter
Food Consumption in Global Perspective

Part of the book series: Consumption and Public Life ((CUCO))

Abstract

Jack Goody’s Food and Love includes a chapter entitled ‘Why no wine on the table ’, in which he reflects on the patterns of indulgence and reluctance to drink and their possible interpretations (Goody 1998: 172–182). As always, it is rich with insight and erudition, with intriguing comparisons. I start this chapter by pursuing some of these themes.
