In the ancient Roman world, for example, it was common practice to build channels from the tops of graves into the crypts themselves, and mourners would regularly pour offerings of food and drink into these conduits to nourish the dead while they waited for the afterlife. Funeral cookies wrapped with printed prayers and poems meant to comfort mourners became popular in Victorian England; while in China, Japan, and Korea, it is customary to offer food not only to the bereaved, but to the deceased, with ritual dishes prepared and served to the dead. Dying to Eat is the first interdisciplinary book to examine the role of food in death, bereavement, and the afterlife. The contributors explore the phenomenon across cultures and religions, investigating topics including tombstone rituals in Buddhism, Catholicism, and Shamanism; the role of death in the Moroccan approach to food; and the role of funeral casseroles and church cookbooks in the Southern United States. This innovative collection not only offers food for thought regarding the theories and methods behind these practices but also provides recipes that allow the reader to connect to the argument through material experience. Illuminating how cooking and corpses both transform and construct social rituals, Dying to Eat serves as a fascinating exploration of the foodways of death and bereavement. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed October 30, 2017). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Food habits|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85050275|vCross-cultural studies.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001526 650 0 Death|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85036085 |vCross-cultural studies.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001526 650 7 Food habits|xCross-cultural studies.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/930808 650 7 Food habits.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/930807 650 7 Death|xCross-cultural studies.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/888627 650 7 Death.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/888613 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Cross-cultural studies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1423769 700 1 Cann, Candi K.,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no97028089|eeditor. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1470815|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
