Produktbeschreibung
Volume 4 examines the British diet from its colonial and global perspectives. Colonialism, combined with rapidly improving global transport networks, introduced the British introduced to a plethora of unfamiliar foods from overseas. Changing economic trading patterns also impacted massively on the changing British diet. Emigration (inwards and outwards), and military service, further encouraged a global inter-mingling of diets and palates. The British stomach was introduced to new spices and herbs, either at home or abroad, although fears persisted that the British constitution was ill-suited to rich, foreign foods. A selection of sources will bring to life how the increasingly globalised world changed British eating habits, while introducing readers to the many debates surrounding this transition.

Dr. Ian Miller is Senior Lecturer in Medical History at Ulster University. He has authored seven books on the history of medicine and food.
