The 'Mission to Tokyo' section appeared first in Food Arts, and readers of my short story for Canongate Press's Rover's Return collection will see that the fictional protagonist in my contribution, 'Chef's Night Out' had a humiliating experience on a busy broiler station much like my own.

During times of national anxiety, food and eating provide metaphors for exemplifying threats and addressing consequent fears. During the interwar years, Marcel Rouff uses food as emotional and psychological sustenance for a population in need of resuscitation in his novel La vie et la passion de Dodin-Bouffant, gourmet. Rouff’s emphasis on regional terroir and the simplicity of good French cooking unite the French people in their common past and orient them towards the future, in an almost spiritual turn. While gastronomy may be an ideal means of projecting a superior identity on the international stage, it may be a divisive force within the nation.
