Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: This article explores the connections between identity and foodways of farmers and small-town inhabitants in Eastern Poland, showing that food may serve as a strong metaphor of identity and the way of building ties and upholding community. The main food idioms are linked with the idea of „our” food, food which is local, familiar and familial, and the notions based on the connection with a certain region (terroir), along with with its history, people, environment, taste qualities. These are embedded in the locality and connect ideas of food, health, relationality and moral values (work), which are key building blocks of local identity.
