  • Where Tulips and Crocuses Are Popular Food Snacks: Kurdish
    Pieroni et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2019) 15:59 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-019-0341-0 RESEARCH Open Access Where tulips and crocuses are popular food snacks: Kurdish traditional foraging reveals traces of mobile pastoralism in Southern Iraqi Kurdistan Andrea Pieroni1* , Hawre Zahir2, Hawraz Ibrahim M. Amin3,4 and Renata Sõukand5 Abstract Background: Iraqi Kurdistan is a special hotspot for bio-cultural diversity and for investigating patterns of traditional wild food plant foraging, considering that this area was the home of the first Neolithic communities and has been, over millennia, a crossroad of different civilizations and cultures. The aim of this ethnobotanical field study was to cross-culturally compare the wild food plants traditionally gathered by Kurdish Muslims and those gathered by the ancient Kurdish Kakai (Yarsan) religious group and to possibly better understand the human ecology behind these practices. Methods: Twelve villages were visited and 123 study participants (55 Kakai and 68 Muslim Kurds) were interviewed on the specific topic of the wild food plants they currently gather and consume. Results: The culinary use of 54 folk wild plant taxa (corresponding to 65 botanical taxa) and two folk wild mushroom taxa were documented. While Kakais and Muslims do share a majority of the quoted food plants and also their uses, among the plant ingredients exclusively and commonly quoted by Muslims non-weedy plants are slightly preponderant. Moreover, more than half of the overall recorded wild food plants are used raw as snacks, i.e. plant parts are consumed on the spot after their gathering and only sometimes do they enter into the domestic arena.

The project was conceived as the Slow Food Foundation and FAO independently manage various activities in Africa with different approaches, but in this case saw a common interest and mutually beneficial objectives. Given the distinctive features of the Slow Food Foundation’s approach to its activities in many countries of the Global South—in Africa, South America and Asia—and as a result of its common interest with the FAO regarding some activities in the agrifood area, there have been significant collaborative efforts in recent years. This project is a practical expression of the shared aims. To optimally coordinate activities, attention has focused on West Africa, in particular 4 countries: Sierra Leone, Guinea Bissau, Mali and Senegal. West Africa has some of the poorest regions on the continent.

  • Exploration of Food Culture in Kisumu: a Socio-Cultural Perspective
    Journal of Arts & Humanities Volume 06, Issue 07, 2017, 74-86 Article Received: 27-03-2017 Accepted: 14-04-2017 Available Online: 24-07-2017 ISSN: 2167-9045 (Print), 2167-9053 (Online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18533/journal.v6i7.1162 Exploration of Food Culture in Kisumu: A Socio-Cultural Perspective Dr. Fredrick Z.A. Odede1, Dr. Patrick O. Hayombe, Prof. Stephen G. Agong ABSTRACT Increasingly food culture in the context of socio-cultural dimension is becoming important for sustainable urban development. In the last four years food festivals have been held in Kisumu attracting several interests both from within and without the City. The Kisumu fish night event of 2013 marked the melting point of food culture in Kisumu. This paper thus explores the noble intention of integrating food culture in Kisumu as a socio-cultural capital for the advancement of City sustainable development agenda. To an agrarian society, life is about food from its production, the processing/preservation up to the consumption or the sharing. People connect to their cultural or ethnic background through similar food patterns. People from different cultural backgrounds eat different foods leading to the question: Are Luos in Kisumu defined by their own food culture? This study further investigated the mode of production, and storage of food resources, examined food cuisines of the Luo community in Kisumu, and assessed the food habits, practices and beliefs associated with food cuisines, as well as, the nutritional and socio-cultural values of Luo cuisines. The research employed qualitative methods of data collection such as interviews, observation, focused group discussion and photography using purposive and snowball sampling technique.

The Museum felt this research was necessary because it wants to enhance its reach and relevance to people of the African diaspora (beyond those who identify themselves as African American): The main purpose of this audience research project is to illuminate the perceptions of diverse African diasporic audiences in order to meaningfully engage with them and offer them a fulfilling visitor experience at the Smithsonian’s newest museum…1 Therefore, audience research was warranted because little is known about the likely perceptions of diverse black audiences in relation to a museum experience about African American history and culture.
