In my latest Substack post, I talked about the pressure to perform #chinesenewyear #lunarnewyear in a world that grinds on, and with children with "judgy tummies." Like it, subscribe for free to the Curious Eater, which gives you #foodhist and #food twice a week.
Love that Bad Bunny had so much food culture. It is such an important part of who we are. I miss good Mexican/Latin American food! #fooodstudies #foodhist
Q for #Historians of #Agriculture please - not my area but am seeking sources (export lists or maps) that show regional crops grown for 19C #Ireland #UK - basically what foods were grown where - any lovely #Skystorians have some good ideas of where to find such data? Thanks! #FoodHist #FarmHist
Hey folks going (or not going) to #MLA2026 or #AHA2026! You can buy my book for 40% off through the UPenn Press virtual bookstore. Appreciate the historians and Lit folk already using it in their classrooms! #FoodHist #Blackademia #AcademicSky #FeministSky site.pennpress.org/mla-2026/

That vision shaped how Americans imagined food, security, and global responsibility during and after #WWII. Those ideas are at the heart of my book, Recipe for Democracy, out later this year with UVA Press! #foodhist
Update for transparency purposes: redid search for John Young in Newspapers.com during the contested years of 1960-1964, found an additional DBA he took out in 1961 with 2 partners but no subsequent ventures by that name. Also added 2 birth notice columns that provided his occupation.

Somewhere there is a food historian in search of a book or PhD topic. Well, here you go! No one has written a scholarly history of chicken wings in #Buffalo.

today's niche #foodhist query - can anyone recommend a book/chapter/article on the history of sugar that covers PRE-COLONIAL use, e.g. in country of origin Papuan use etc. (We don't have a copy of Abbot's Bittersweet in the uni library & I can't figure out if she covers it eno' to warrant an ILL) 🗃️
🗃️looking for well recieved POPULAR #Foodhist and #Envhist books that were (crucially) written by people trained as historians. I'm not struggling to find work by people who are journalists, scientists or in the food industry, but historians seem scarcer on the shelves - who am I missing?

Thanks for the shoutout, @uofglibrary.bsky.social! Had so much fun curating this exhibit #foodhist
Oh, man. This is yet another terrible thing the admin is doing. It will further erode public health but also those of us who study eating habits and dietary change and food systems. #foodhist

#foodhist friends: I have a student working on a capstone about food culture in Florence. Student has a great start on secondary sources and good collection of images to use as primary. Any other thoughts on other primary sources to explore?

Can’t believe it’s been 4 weeks already- international friends you can now hear my #FoodHist episode! (Exploration and sports history episodes are in the back catalogue) 🗃️
A cup of tea, a half-eaten pack of chocolate digestives, and the corner of a laptop keyboard
Caffeine and biscuits - the ONLY way to get through the final stages of book footnotes (ESPECIALLY when four authors have worked on those footnotes at various points in the writing process!) #thekingsdinner #amwriting #18thC #foodhist #skystorians
I see the same people who get all fatphobic about youth obesity levels are now frothing about the "decline of the British pudding". Increasingly thinking that #FoodHist is vital, especially the sort that properly interrogate nationalism, "authenticity", the artificiality of food categories etc.
#envhist #foodhist #aghist crowds!
I am looking for readings on fish farming for my MA student - any suggestions?

Pepsi has more sugar than Coke and is less complex. The reason blind tasting pick Pepsi is that is sweeter but the public drinks more Coke is because the palate doesn't become fatigued as quickly. There is a point at which too sweet is just that. #foodhist #histsci

Cold War food culture is the topic of a new exhibit at @uofglibrary.bsky.social by @rebeccabeau.bsky.social (History) and Ashley McBrayne (ASC). On Wednesday, mayor @camguthrie.bsky.social stopped by to check it out, having loaned a blender and mixmaster from his own collection.

I'd use appropriation not faux as in false, but perhaps that is more of a translation issue. Authentic/Inauthentic is very controversial in #foodhist especially given the work of anthropologists who interrogated the idea. Much like we can't recreate "historical" foods as ingredients have changed 1/
