https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/y9tuqw7bcufn what makes an ‘authentic’ product from a particular place? What is the relationship between food and place (identity)? Are quality food products only to be sourced from traditional / artisanal producers based in particular places or can quality be associated with mass produced, place unspecific foods? en-us 2019-09-12 10:07:57 UTC 2019-10-03 07:18:37 UTC hello@padlet.com han_jeffery90 https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/y9tuqw7bcufn/wish/388689930 ‘Authentic’ is a tricky word to pin down, and in terms of food, I feel it can have a few variations. ‘Authentic’ could be using traditional ingredients to create the specific food/meal; it could be making the food/meal in the traditional way; or it could also be place-specific, eating the specific food in its original location. Maybe it’s a combination of all three together! It would be good to have a discussion about this in seminars and hear what other people think. I also feel like there’s a strong relationship between food and place-identity. Places become known for certain foods or dishes and this generates tourism, reaffirming and further entrenching this relationship between place and food.]]> 2019-09-24 09:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/neil_hughes/y9tuqw7bcufn/wish/388689930
