-and also the way that so much of it was about the social aspects of eating and like John said yesterday how talking about food can be more important than food itself
-also the idea of the codification of food and the culture surrounding food being important was brought up in this reading too eg it says 'Grimod helped insure the survival of these elite dishes by introducing them to a wider audience' which would be via writing about the dishes

  • Aristocratic upbringing in the ancien régime: preservation of elite culinary techniques. This was interesting as it demonstrated the importance of culinary tradition and how deeply ingrained food culture is, particularly in how it interacts and transcends socially, politically and economically. 
  • Influential over not only French cuisine, but also over where and how it was consumed:
    "Grimod banished servants from the dining room...the diners would focus all their attention on the one dish at hand, and the dish could be served more quickly and as perfectly hot or cold as required...meats were carved before being delivered to the jury room by a dumbwaiter".
    Demonstrates how food was a political apparatus during the French Revolution, a theatrical and powerful performance for the masses, even if the bourgeoisie continued aristocratic practices. The 'sharing' of elite dining in public restaurants meant that the lower classes felt 'invited' into these luxuries. 
  • Grimod's influence was immortalised and codified in his eight volumes of the Almanach. This was a clear example for me of how important codification is to the development of a national cuisine and identity.

Any class was able to read the book and learn the gastronomy

Grimod was a prime person for changing the current attitudes at the time, teaching the people about ‘fine dining’ and how cuisine can be more than food for survival. It became something of pleasure. 

The church’s “condemnation of gluttony’ had thus far restricted someone from focusing so much on food as Grimod however he was able to break down this issue with quality over quantity.

- His influence over restaurants would have been unexpected 
- He introduced the modern idea of pleasure at the table. Not just eating for survival and not overeating to the point of glutton, but enjoying a hearty, well-prepared meal.

- He was a very eccentric man and he came from an aristroctaic background and was rebelling against his parents and family.

- He was diagnosed with Cenani Lenz Syndactylism, which was a disorder which fused his fingers together, making his right hand look like a pincer, resembling a claw, hence the title.

- In 1775 he received a prospetic hand, which allowed him to write and hold dinner parties 

- He created the first guide of fine dining 1803 called Almanach des Gourmans
his articles covered all elements of the dinning experience

- His last volume published was in 1812, which encouraged people to study the art of fine dining 

- He was an incredibly influential man throughout Europe and has been reflected in other countries across the world

- He anticipated the way that food culture was going to become in the future, and was bold and the first person in France to treat food like an art form
-He made food not just about eating, but about the pleasure of the experience as well
-He maintained the comfort of his wealth and class despite his rebellion
- As the text says ''Grimod helped insure the survival of these elite dishes by introducing them to a wider audience'' by writing about them in his magazine
-Lasting influence was that his magazine encouraged people to experience the art of dining

  - once a dish has spread internationally, it becomes a national food
- Modern day society allows transportation and communication. Foods spread, and national diets consist of international dishes. However food and cuisine are still tied to place. "Culinary distinction as a mark of identity" while borders are blurred.

-       The authors political affiliations are often evident in these ‘stories’ and thus even food seems to follow political trends 
-       ‘Defining France through its cuisine’ 
-       A recipe brings everything together into an imagined landscape where even the diner is part of the collective piece of art
-       Before technological advancements, it was believed in France that ‘the fish don’t travel, so the consumer must’. The food was exceptionally regional and was unable to be truly replicated in a region other than its original one 
-       Despite this, the recipes were dispersed through the country in order to be read and to illicit a culinary nationalism that would ‘bring together regions and nations, left and right, old and new’ 
-       With the progression of science in transportation of product and the influence of media, culinary nationalism has evolved and grown, ‘the geographical and political boundaries have ben all but abolished’ as consumers are willing to travel to immerse themselves in new culinary cultures

-Pampille argues that the national cuisine is made of up things cooked by ordinary cooks, not fancy chefs (and is made up particularly of dishes enjoyed across all social classes)
-She also argues that to truely appreciate a dish it should be eaten at the place of its origin (and that it will be enjoyed more by someone who is local to that place as well)
- Recipes convey a sense of place
-'Culinary nationalism' still exists now but in a different way. "countries [still] propose culinary distinction as a marker of identity" but "any claim to national singularity...must contend with the permeability of boundaries between countries, regions, places, and products"

dinner was considered a social kind of occasion and these recipes created dinners, so therefore were seen as bringing people together 

to appreciate a dish it is believed that it should be consumed in its nation or origin  

In contemporary society, transportation and communication allow foods and recipes to spread across the globe, this means national dishes are no longer only consumed in their original origin

Catalonian food, preparation and consumption are inextricably link to their identity and culture. 

Catalonia food resistant and "seems indestructible" to centralisation under Franco 

With the death of Franco came empowerment for Catalonian's; the opportunity to celebrate their regional identity
