  • Bangladeshi Food Voices from Diaspora: Narratives of Six Case Studies from the UK
    Bangladeshi Food Voices from Diaspora: Narratives of Six Case Studies from the UK, USA and Hungary By Shehreen Ataur Khan Submitted to Central European University – Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfilment for the ERASMUS MUNDUS MA in Women’s and Gender Studies (GEMMA) Main supervisor: Nadia Jones-Gailani, PhD (Central European University) Second reader: Adelina Sanchez Espinosa, PhD (University of Granada) CEU eTD Collection Budapest 2019 Bangladeshi Food Voices from Diaspora: Narratives of Six Case Studies from the UK, USA and Hungary By Shehreen Ataur Khan Submitted to Central European University – Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfilment for the ERASMUS MUNDUS MA in Women’s and Gender Studies (GEMMA) Main supervisor: Nadia Jones-Gailani, PhD (Central European University) Second reader: Adelina Sanchez Espinosa, PhD (University of Granada) CEU eTD Collection Abstract This thesis is focused on Bangladeshi culinary representations in the diaspora. The purpose of this research is to gain a better understanding of the Bangladeshi migrants who are involved in the culinary industry. I joined these two strands together and formed the kernel of my dissertation, which is to examine the layers of Bangladeshi migrant identities that are orchestrated through their culinary expressions in diaspora. My dissertation is based on six case studies from the UK, USA, and Hungary. Because of the diverse backgrounds of the case studies, there was an eclectic mix in their culinary projects, and I have analyzed them through the theoretical lens of food histories, food narratives, postcolonial studies, migrant identifies, and oral history. This research reveals how their culinary projects are coming to terms with a new reality, an expression of their hybrid identity, and at the same time, celebrating the connection with their homelands.

  • Nigella : the Missing Spice in Your Kitchen
    NIGELLA : THE MISSING SPICE IN YOUR KITCHEN Image: The delicate Nigella flower comes is many shades of blue and purple Nigella sativa is a plant native to Southern Asia that produces tiny and richly flavoursome jet black seeds. Nigella seeds are known by many other names including black cumin, black caraway, black coriander and Kalongi or Kalonji. These seeds are a popular spice in many cultures including India and the Middle East, having also been used medicinally for many centuries. Today Nigella seeds are used across the globe and not only are they great for enhancing the flavour of many dishes, but we now know a lot more about their incredible array of medicinal benefits as well. Nigella seeds have been extensively studied and found to be anti-microbial, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer and immune enhancing as well as protective for the lungs, kidneys, liver and digestive tract. With these properties its no wonder they are amongst the highest rated evidence-based herbal medicines around. Nigella seed looks similar to a black sesame seed being about the same size however with a unique raindrop shape, making it popular as a decorative spice sprinkled onto breads or tossed through salads. Nigella has a strong, peppery flavour that some say tastes somewhat like oregano and onions. It is commonly used in curries, casseroles, dahl, pickles and to flavour rice as well as an ingredient in spice mixes. In Bengali cuisine, there is a popular spice mix called panch poron, which has cumin, fennel, fenugreek and black mustard seeds mixed with nigella. This aromatic mix can be added to almost anything, from steamed vegetables to bean and lentil dishes.

  • Dr. Eusebio Pires (EZ) and Dr
    Dr. Eusebio Pires (EZ) and Dr. Mahabuba Akhter Lorna Sundberg International Center of UVA. Saturday, 14th May 2011 Bangladesh and India are part of the Indian Subcontinent and have had a long common cultural, economic and political history. The cultures of the two countries are similar; in particular Bangladesh and India's states West Bengal and Tripura are all Bengali- speaking. However, since the partition of India in 1947, Bangladesh (formerly East Bengal and East Pakistan) became a part of Pakistan. Following the bloody Liberation War of 1971, Bangladesh gained its independence and established relations with India. The political relationship between India and Bangladesh has passed through cycles of hiccups. According to Bangla fundamentalists: 'A Bengali Hindu is culturally closer to a Bangladeshi Muslim, yet they are supposed to be "foreigners" to each other' they believe in Hindu-Muslim Bhai Bhai, which means that Bangladeshi Hindu-Muslims are brothers. Bangla cuisine refers to the Bengali cuisine prevalent in Bangladesh. The Bangladeshi cuisine incorporates many Persian-Arabic elements and the usage of meat greatly sets it apart from the cuisine in West Bengal in India. It also has considerable regional variations. A staple across the country however is rice, various kinds of lentil, which is locally known as dal & fresh waster fish is also eaten regularly. Bangladeshi food varies between very 'sweet' and mild-to extremely spicy, many tourists even from other South East Asian and Sub continental countries find the food spicy. It resembles North East Indian and South East Asian food more closely than that of any other part of the Subcontinent, most probably due to geographic and cultural proximity.

Bengal: A brief history Bengal comprised of Bangladesh, West Bengal along with the states of Bihar, Orissa and the Chotanagpur area previously which was partitioned into two provinces under the British colonial rule in October 1905. The resulting provinces consisted of East Bengal with the majority of Muslim population and the western part with the majority of Hindu population. This partition further sowed the seed of the partition of India in 1947 when the eastern part of Bengal joined Pakistan and the western part of Bengal joined India as West Bengal. ‘East Bengal ’, was renamed as ‘East Pakistan’ in 1954, which again gained independence from Pakistan and was called Bangladesh in 1971. Calcutta the capital the West Bengal is located along the bank of the river Bhagirathi-Hooghly, distributaries of the river Ganga. The origin of the city can be traced back almost about 300 years when the three settlements of Sutaniti, Gobindopur and Kalikata were combined by Job Charnock, of the east India Company. Dhaka ‘the city of thousand mosques ’and the capital of Bangladesh is far older than Calcutta. Dhaka was a small town in the 4th century which became an important Mughal commercial and provincial capital till 1704 and then became the British district headquarters in the 18th century, the subsidiary capital of East Pakistan and then finally the capital of Bangladesh in 1971.

  • Decolonisation and Food: the Burden of Colonial Gastronomy – Stories from West Bengal
    Decolonisation and Food: The Burden of Colonial Gastronomy – Stories from West Bengal Sayan Dey ORCID iD: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7569-5519 Rozena Maart ORCID iD: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3829-1523 Abstract This article makes an effort to unpack the ways in which the traditional food customs of precolonial Bengal were colonised by the Europeans, especially the British, followed by the Portuguese. In the course of its unpacking, the article reflects rather elaborately, as the details reveal, on how the colonisation of food customs and culinary practices of precolonial Bengal opened gateways for the Europeans to fragment the traditional society of precolonial Bengal socially, culturally, racially and communally. With scant references to the colonisation of food in Cape Town, South Africa, where the Dutch brought Bengali families in the middle of the 1600s as enslaved peoples to assist them in setting up a halfway station for their continued colonisation of India, this article also explores the various possibilities of decolonising the colonial and capitalistic invasions of European and North American food customs and culinary practices in contemporary West Bengal, in particular.

Landes Ferree Professor of Early Modern History & Women’s Studies Nancy S. Love Director, Interdisciplinary Studies Program & Professor, Government and Justice Studies Appalachian State University Carol Reardon Director of Graduate Studies in History & Professor of Military History * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii Abstract In “Culture of Food in Colonial Bengal ” I seek to relate the rise of a new middle- class in colonial Bengal to the development of a new gastronomic culture. I argue that the colonial transformation of the relations of production contextualized the cultural articulation of a new set of values, prejudices, and tastes for the Bengali Hindu middle- class. These cultural values, together with the political and economic conditions of colonialism, formed the habitus of this class. I investigate the historical specificities of this instance of class-formation through an exploration of the discursive and non- discursive social practices that went into the production of a new “Bengali” cuisine. Drawing on government proceedings, periodical literature, recipe books, and visual materials, I demonstrate that the Bengali Hindu middle-class created a new cuisine, one that reflects both an enthusiasm to partake of the pleasures of capitalist modernity and an anxiety about colonial rule.
