A Revolution In Taste, Or, Is There Haute Cuisine Without The Michelin Guide?, Alison Vincent
A Revolution In Taste, Or, Is There Haute Cuisine Without The Michelin Guide?, Alison Vincent
Dublin Gastronomy Symposium
In the absence of a Michelin Guide to restaurants in Australia local critics have been the sole arbiters of good taste in Sydney and Melbourne since the restaurant revolution of the 1970s when eating out became a fashionable and popular leisure time activity. This paper argues that this local approach allowed Australian diners and chefs to follow a more eclectic and adventurous path than may have been the case had they been constrained by Michelin standards.
1916: Dublin Youths' Sweet Revolution, Marjorie Deleuze
1916: Dublin Youths' Sweet Revolution, Marjorie Deleuze
Dublin Gastronomy Symposium
This paper examines the children of the slums of Dublin in 1916 for whom a sweet treat was a very rare occurrence. The shop looting that happened during the Easter Insurrection of 1916 gives an interesting insight into the children's priorities at the time. Anecdotal though the accounts of the looting may be, they shed some light on both the children's perception of the event and the beginning of a new era of sweet food consumption. Whilst adults were busy fighting for a free Ireland, a bunch of children were having their own revolution, a taste buds revolution.

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

Eater/Eaten: What Revolves Around Who?, David Szanto
Eater/Eaten: What Revolves Around Who?, David Szanto
Dublin Gastronomy Symposium
This paper examines a number of experimental moments when things were eaten and things ate - in multiple senses. Together, they probe a key question about gastronomic ontologies: when it comes to arranging food knowldege, what ordering systems make sense? It is a question that may seem inane, imaginative, and/or irrelevant, depending on one's motives and perspectives. Unpacking this question may help to reconfigure some of the other questions address in this area of study.
