Exhibit: "A Full Course: Encounters with Food"

 

To survive and thrive, we must all consume food everyday: eating is therefore one of the few universal human experiences. Beginning with this basic fact, "A Full Course: Encounters with Food" will consider the more contested and continuing questions surrounding food: where does it come from, what and how do we cook and eat, and what role does food play in our collective imaginations? The books, manuscripts, posters, and ephemera on view will offer a feast for the eyes and food for thought by examining our various experiences with food, from producing and selling it to preparing and eating it. Diverse cookbooks from Penn State's collections demonstrate that while cookbooks are commercial enterprises, they can also help establish communities, as copies with beloved recipes are passed down through generations.

 “A Full Course: Encounters with Food” is scheduled for display through Sunday, Jan 13, in the Eberly Family Special Collections Library Exhibition Room, 104 Paterno Library, on Penn State’s University Park campus.
