Abstract

This paper introduces a special issue on "Rescuing Taste from the Nation: Oceans, Borders, and Culinary Flows." It examines culinary linkages and sensory geographies across national boundaries, and highlights alternative spatial configurations of taste. From the politics of tea to the transnational pathways of turtle soup, papers attend to culinary cultures, systems of preparation, and forms of knowledge that escape or challenge a strictly national circumscription.
