Presented by: Rocio Carvajal Food anthropologist, culture & gastronomy educator.
Episode 88
This episode features a fascianting conversation with Professor Iván Escamilla González, also known on Instagram as El Cronista Novohispano (The Novohispanic Chronicler). Together, we delve into a historical exploration of food, examining a range of contrasting aspects—from the lavish feasts of the upper classes to the stark realities of famine, and the creation of new food systems in the Spanish Viceroyalty of Mexico. There was so much ground to cover!
We begin with an overview of New Spain, touching on its geographical, political, and social landscapes. This sets the stage for discussing the introduction of the Spanish food system.
Next, we dive into the fascinating topic of political feasting in colonial Mexico, contrasting it with the darker history of hunger, famines, and food riots.
In the fourth section, we shift our focus to the transpacific trade and its impact on food systems. Finally, we wrap up with a thought-provoking discussion on the challenges of researching and sharing history in the age of social media.
