  • Recent Trends in Jewish Food History Writing
    –8– “Bread from Heaven, Bread from the Earth”: Recent Trends in Jewish Food History Writing Jonathan Brumberg-Kraus Over the last thirty years, Jewish studies scholars have turned increasing attention to food and meals in Jewish culture. These studies fall more or less into two different camps: (1) text-centered studies that focus on the authors’ idealized, often prescrip- tive construction of the meaning of food and Jewish meals, such as biblical and postbiblical dietary rules, the Passover Seder, or food in Jewish mysticism—“bread from heaven”—and (2) studies of the “performance” of Jewish meals, particularly in the modern period, which often focus on regional variations, acculturation, and assimilation—“bread from the earth.”1 This breakdown represents a more general methodological split that often divides Jewish studies departments into two camps, the text scholars and the sociologists. However, there is a growing effort to bridge that gap, particularly in the most recent studies of Jewish food and meals.2 The major insight of all of these studies is the persistent connection between eating and Jewish identity in all its various manifestations. Jews are what they eat. While recent Jewish food scholarship frequently draws on anthropological, so- ciological, and cultural historical studies of food,3 Jewish food scholars’ conver- sations with general food studies have been somewhat one-sided. Several factors account for this. First, a disproportionate number of Jewish food scholars (compared to other food historians) have backgrounds in the modern academic study of religion or rabbinical training, which affects the focus and agenda of Jewish food history. At the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery, my background in religious studies makes me an anomaly.

  • Medieval Cuisine
    MEDIEVAL CUISINE Food as a Cultural Identity CHRISTOPHER MACMAHON CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY CHANNEL ISLANDS When reflecting upon the Middle Ages, there are many views that might come to one’s mind. One may think of Christian writings or holy warriors on crusade. Perhaps another might envision knights bedecked in heavy armor seeking honorable combat or perhaps an image of cities devastated by plague. Yet few would think of the Middle Ages in terms of cuisine. Cuisine in this time period can be approached in a variety of ways, but for many, the mere mention of food would provoke images of opulent feasts, of foods of luxury. David Waines takes this approach when looking at how medieval Islamic societies approached the idea of luxury foods. Waines begins with the idea invoked above, that a luxury food was one which was “expensive, pleasurable and unnecessary.”1 But, Waines goes on to ask, could not luxury also be considered a dish, no matter how humble the origin, whose preparation was so exquisite that it was beyond compare?2 While challenging the traditional thinking in regards to how one views cuisine, it must be noted that Waines’ focus is upon luxury foods. Whether prohibitively expensive or expertly prepared, such dishes would only be available to a very select elite. Another common method for looking at the role food played in medieval life is to look at the relationship between food and the economy. This relationship occurred in both local and international trade. Derek Keene investigates how cities “profoundly influenced the economies… of their hinterlands” by examining the relationship between the city of London and the area surrounding the city.3 Keene demonstrates that a network of ringed zones worked outward from the city, each with a specific support function.

  • Middle Eastern Cuisine
    MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE The term Middle Eastern cuisine refers to the various cuisines of the Middle East. Despite their similarities, there are considerable differences in climate and culture, so that the term is not particularly useful. Commonly used ingredients include pitas, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley. The Middle Eastern cuisines include: Arab cuisine Armenian cuisine Cuisine of Azerbaijan Assyrian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Egyptian cuisine Israeli cuisine Iraqi cuisine Iranian (Persian) cuisine Lebanese cuisine Palestinian cuisine Somali cuisine Syrian cuisine Turkish cuisine Yemeni cuisine ARAB CUISINE Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab World from Iraq to Morocco to Somalia to Yemen, and incorporating Levantine, Egyptian and others. It has also been influenced to a degree by the cuisines of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India, the Berbers and other cultures of the peoples of the region before the cultural Arabization brought by genealogical Arabians during the Arabian Muslim conquests. HISTORY Originally, the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on a diet of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, with little variety, with a heavy emphasis on yogurt products, such as labneh (yoghurt without butterfat). As the indigenous Semitic people of the peninsula wandered, so did their tastes and favored ingredients. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: 1. Meat: lamb and chicken are the most used, beef and camel are also used to a lesser degree, other poultry is used in some regions, and, in coastal areas, fish. Pork is not commonly eaten--for Muslim Arabs, it is both a cultural taboo as well as being prohibited under Islamic law; many Christian Arabs also avoid pork as they have never acquired a taste for it.

Adam Izdebski, Marcin Jaworski, Handan Üstündağ, and Arkadiusz Sołtysiak Bread and Class in Medieval Society: Foodways in Anatolia Since the time of Braudel, most historians have come to recognize the close link between social status and type of food consumed. As Braudel wrote about Mediterranean life, “The study of the grain problem takes us . to a greater understanding of that life in all its complexity.” The role that food and diet played in shaping the natural environment has subsequently developed into a major theme in environmental history.
