The review of an extensive body of literature reveals that the overarching Mediterranean Diet discourse inspired by nutritional studies by Keys in the early 50s (later codified as the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid), has since been developed and reinterpreted in parallel with societal developments. Some of these narratives have been to a large extend promoted by other public discourses on food and health (MD), multiculturalism and cosmopolitan lifestyles (MC & Greek Food), as well as by the hedonic and aesthetic sophistication of modern consumers, used as a device to grasp the much sought after authenticity and distinction. Google Trends analyses (an indication of interest to consume) present an increasing interest in MD and MC at global and regional levels (Germany, France, UK, USA and Russia). Overall, MC and MD are outperforming Ethnic Food and national cuisines in terms of research interest. Overall, MD and MC appear to be two parallel discourses; MD is related to nutrition and health, MC seems to be coupled in consumers’ minds with dining out and the specialty food segment, related to hedonism and neophilia, where variety, natural and local traditional foods are as important as taste. Moreover there are regional variations in interest of MD or MC even within a country, which means that Greek producers need to adapt their selling proposition (MD or MC or Combination) to local demands (including consumers and retailers, and used different marketing strategies when promoting ingredients or/and finished products). To enter in markets such as USA, UK, Germany, France & Russia, producer will encounter numerous challenges such as high market concentration and chargebacks imposed by distributors. Small specialty stores could be a prospect, but retailers require producers to support market demands and NPD. Moreover, distributors will not take on a product without sales already in place, and the foodservice sector will not consider a product without distributors in place.

Επιπλέον, η αναφορά αυτή παρουσιάζει ενδείξεις σχετικά με πιθανό σχεδιασμό/ανάπτυξη προϊόντων και στρατηγικές μάρκετινγκ για τους Έλληνες εξαγωγείς. Η αξιολόγηση της εκτενούς βιβλιογραφίας αποκαλύπτει ότι η πρωταρχική συζήτηση που ξεκίνησε εμπνεύστηκε από τις μελέτες σχετικά με τη διατροφή του Keys στις αρχές της δεκαετίας του 50 (αργότερα κωδικοποιημένη ως Πυραμίδα Μεσογειακής Διατροφής), και από τότε έχει εξελιχθεί και επανερμηνευτεί παράλληλα με τις κοινωνικές εξελίξεις. Κάποιες από αυτές τις διηγήσεις σε μεγάλο βαθμό έχουν προωθηθεί από άλλες συζητήσεις που αφορούν το φαγητό και την υγεία, την πολυπολιτισμικότητα και τον κοσμοπολίτικο τρόπο ζωής (Μεσογειακή Κουζίνα και Ελληνικό φαγητό), καθώς επίσης και την ηδονική και αισθητική επιτήδευση των μοντέρνων καταναλωτών που χρησιμοποιούνται ως μέσω για την επίτευξη αυθεντικότητας και διάκρισης. Η ανάλυση του Google Trends (μία ένδειξη ενδιαφέροντος προ κατανάλωση) παρουσιάζει ένα αυξανόμενο ενδιαφέρον για τη Μεσογειακή Διατροφή και Μεσογειακή Κουζίνα σε παγκόσμια και περιφερειακή κλίμακα (Γερμανία, Γαλλία, Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο, Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες Αμερικής και Ρωσία). Συνολικά οι αναζητήσεις για τη Μεσογειακή Διατροφή και τη Μεσογειακή Κουζίνα ξεπερνούν το ενδιαφέρον για το Ethnic Food και τις εθνικές κουζίνες. Επίσης οι συζητήσεις που αφορούν τη Μεσογειακή Κουζίνα και τη Μεσογειακή Διατροφή φαίνεται να είναι παράλληλες. Η Μεσογειακή διατροφή σχετίζεται με την θρεπτικότητα και την υγεία, η Μεσογειακή Κουζίνα στο μυαλό των καταναλωτών μεταφράζεται σαν έξοδος για φαγητό. Τέλος το τμήμα της αγοράς που αφορά τις σπεσιαλιτέ του κάθε τόπου σχετίζεται με τον ηδονισμό και τη νεοφιλία, όπου η ποικιλία, η φυσικότητα και τα παραδοσιακά προϊόντα είναι το ίδιο σημαντικά με τη γεύση. Επιπροσθέτως, υπάρχουν αποκλίσεις στις προτιμήσεις

The less we cook or eat in a decent way, the more we are concerned with the meaning and strategies of cooking, the authenticity of recipes and their normative grammar. Food, the most accessible threshold of culture (La Cecla 1997 ), is ubiquitous in television series and programmes, fi lms (Saillard 2010 ), magazines, newspaper articles and novels (Biasin 1991 ; Ott 2011 ), as well as in recent and very popular detective stories. Commissario Montalbano, created by Andrea Camilleri, makes a point of praising the true Sicilian cooking of his housekeeper while despising the cuisine from distant, albeit Mediterranean, Liguria as prepared by his fi anc é e. The hero of Petros Markaris’s detective novels, Inspector Costas Charitos, a Rum – that is, a Greek born in Istanbul – explores contact zones and frictions between the often overlapping cuisines of the two communities. The detective created by Manuel V á squez Mont á lban constantly describes local and national dishes from his country in vivid detail, and mirrors the tension between local, Catalan and national cuisine. Why should this be so if these attitudes did not speak immediately to everyone? In every culture, “foodways constitute an organized system, a language that – through its structure and components – conveys meaning and contributes to the organization of the natural and social world” (Counihan 1999 , 19).

  • A Dinner of 16Th Century Spain
    A Dinner of 16th Century Spain by Senhora Rafaella d’Allemtejo, GdS An Tir Kingdom Arts & Sciences Championship March A.S. XXXVI (2002) A Dinner of 16th Century Spain by Senhora Rafaella d’Allemtejo, GdS An Tir Kingdom Arts & Sciences Championship March A.S. XXXVI (2002) Overview A recent English translation of Ruperto de Nola’s 1520 Libre del Coch intrigued me. As a student of Iberian culture, I envisioned a small dinner party (6-8 people), perhaps noble couples gathering at their evening meal. What might they eat? How would it be prepared? I set out to conquer the translated yet unredacted recipes of this cookbook. The life of this particular cookbook is somewhat convoluted. The translator explains in her introduction: “The Libre del Coch was published in 1520 in Barcelona. It was written in Catalan -- a language related to, but distinct from, Spanish. The author, listed only as "Maestre Robert", identified himself as the cook to Ferrando (or Fernando), King of Naples. The book was extremely successful. It was republished four more times in Catalan, and ten times in Spanish, and 55 of its recipes were plagiarized by Diego Granado for his 1599 cookbook. The first Spanish edition, in 1525, entitled Libro de Cozina, called the author Ruperto de Nola. He has been referred to by that name ever since. The author's identity and nationality are still matters of speculation. He may well have been Catalan, since he wrote in that language. If "Nola" was truly his surname, he may have been an Italian, from the city of Nola in the province of Naples.

    Andalusia Spain Culinaria with European Art Curator Ronni Baer & Chef Deborah Hansen November 12 –19, 2017 • Granada & Seville, Spain Granada Beyond the magnificent Moorish Alhambra, visitors will find a distinctive cuisine and a charming city that was once home to celebrated writers and artists. Like Agra, India, and the Taj Mahal, the Andalusian city of Granada in southern Spain is so well known for a single monument—the Alhambra, a walled fortress housing magnificent 13th- to 15th-century Moorish palaces and gardens—that the city itself is sometimes overlooked. With more than two million visitors descending on the Alhambra, a Unesco World Heritage site, every year, the city’s tourism industry had settled into a somewhat formulaic routine of shuttling visitors in and out of the city in about 24 hours. But recently, some other ancient structures have been restored, and the region’s distinc- tive gastronomy has come into its own. The city that was home to the poet Federico García Lorca, the painter José Guerrero, and the composer Manuel de Falla has deep cultural roots, but now a new crop of small foundations and independent exhibition spaces has revived its arty buzz. Let the Alhambra wait a bit while getting seduced by the city that has grown up around it. Andrew Ferren New York Times (August 10, 2017) Granada seems to specialize in evocative history and good liv- ing. Settle down in the old center and explore monuments of the Moorish civilization and its conquest. Taste the treats of a North African-flavored culture that survives here today.

  • CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS . . . His Gastronomic Persona
    CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS . His Gastronomic Persona By Lucio Sorré BACKROUND As a wine person, ergo a food person (as wine and food are intimately related) afflicted by Columbus quincentennial fever, inquisitiveness prompted a look at what the Admiral of the Ocean Sea and his crews ate during the four voyages to the New World. The first logical source of information was his diary. It provided the scantiest of information. He wrote that two main meals were served daily, cooked on wood fires set in sand boxes. In addition, at the beginning of his third voyage to the New World, he noted that they stopped in Gomera, Canary Islands where "we stocked up on cheeses of which there is a good deal of good quality." Attention was then turned to the books written by Gianni Granzotto as well as Samuel Eliot Morison, his indefatigable and lucid biographer. Granzotto cast a light on the Admiral's family life and overall behavior while Morison carefully recorded life aboard the caravels, listed the victuals supplied to them, the daily dietary routine (or perhaps we ought to say the gobbling and swilling routine). No recipes, however. A check of food historians' literature only highlights Columbus' and other explorers' agricultural contributions to the larders of the old world with yams, potatoes, pineapple, peppers, cocoa, vanilla, papaya, squash, corn, tomatoes and the turkey, a bird unknown to Europe and Asia. It was not a one-way street, as the Old World rapidly introduced sheep, goats, cattle, pigs, olive and walnut trees, wheat, rice, cinnamon, cloves, peaches, apricots and oranges.
