“…Preparation of food, recipes, even reproduction of ethnic cuisine, reflects identity as Ashley, Hollows, Jones & Taylor et al [70] noted. "Diasporic communities may experience a sense of connection" to their host community by assimilating part of the latter's traditions, Ashley et al added.…”

Humankind's identity is symbolized by our food choices. The same goes to what we do not eat nor drink. In addition, our food communicates our identity, beliefs, cultural and social backgrounds to others. It tells a whole lot about a culture as can be told from knowing the origins of ingredients to presentation and plating. In sum, Peranakan food commonly referred to as Nyonya cuisine, while create a new renaissance in the food and beverage, and tourism industry, also communicates the epistemology of that Creole subculture; often indulging both the palate and thirst of cultural awareness.

“…One common perception is of a food cosmopolitanism or sophistication where the markets are understood in terms of socio-economic values or food snobbery (Miele 2006;Rhodus et al 1994;Williamson et al 2009;Wood 1996). Food snobs are consumers knowledgeable in new, exotic or fashionable foods and as Ashley (2004) states, this is a trend constructed through innumerable newspaper restaurant reviews, television food programmes or by dining out frequently. These influences give voice to new food vocabularies and knowledges adopted by 'aspiring professional couple[s] to whom food is a fashion' (Ashley 2004: 149).…”

Abstract:In the social sciences there has been much exciting and informative work on farmers' markets and this paper contributes to this literature by considering how the place of farmers' markets affects the way consumers understand the taste of food. I draw on the difficulty faced by many consumers in articulating the taste of food, especially when food is perceived to taste good. I explore how consumers demonstrate their evaluations of taste, whether through descriptions of taste that are metaphor-laden or through beliefs and values emboldened by food knowledges and opinions. I argue these are how farmers' market consumers understand and perform taste in relation to market food. The findings that inform the paper are taken from interviews with farmers' market consumers in the UK.
