A Taste of History

Food and drink have largely shaped the world we live in now. Over the years, sumptuous servings have been used to mark status and power; while everyday diet has made a difference for high and low – for health or unhappiness, for well-being or hunger, for survival or early death.

At the same time, the threads of the party have woven fabric for lots of ups and downs. From the Vikings' Jól to lavish wedding parties to today's Christmas lunches, power structures have been challenged, kings have been deposed and new rulers elected. The party cements our social existence, but is also dangerous. A wrong table plan can start family feuds and blood feuds.
