Culinary Nationalism in Asia
this volume provides a clear example of how palatal taste can be fruitfully
interrogated as an embodied archive of long- term patterns of interaction between the local and global at various tiers. It shows us how taste can also reveal the limits of the ubiquitous presumptions of national cultures. But first it forces us to unthink eighteenth- century Western formulations that have trivialized literal taste. authors recover corporeal sensory experience to contest the idea of national cultures by telling us distinct stories at varying spatiotemporal levels of analysis.
