| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||||
| Food culture is the relationship between food and Man expressed through the way we get on/deal with food - in eating habits and choices of what we find eatable and what we reject, how we treat and handle our food in the preparation process from raw material to the final dish served in a social eating situation. Eating is a biological necessity, but answers about what is eatable and not only edible, the way we prepare food, the way we serve and consume meals in social settings are to be searched for in cultural and religious contexts. We are born into a culture with its set of social relations, traditions and developments, values, food standards etc. During adolescence we get taste memories, which have an influence on our food choices, but we are challenged by different kinds of food, different kinds of lifestyles and culturally different ways of eating. We meet the unfamiliar and strange when we travel, through ethnic food restaurants and when we go shopping. The world is not static; changes seem to happen faster in relation to what we eat today, when, where and with whom we dine daily and on festive occasions. Industrial food production and the global market exist alongside the regional and national kitchens. Urban meal traditions, art of cooking, advertising, technology and taste affects us. Through this course we wish to provide a means by which you can get an insight into the interaction between the kinds of parameters in a society that have an impact on how Man and his food and meals develop during constant change, locally and globally. It might give inspiration to mix the cards in a culturally wiser way in future food production. All bachelor students with a background in natural and social sciences as well as the Humanities, who are interested in food culture can follow the course. | |||||||||||||||||
