In the domain of food, conspicuous consumption manifested itself in appetites for expensive dishes and lavish dinner parties. These received ample publicity at the time, resulting later on in well-developed historical depictions of upper-class eating habits. This book delves into the eating habits of people of lesser means. Concerning the African American community, the working class, the impoverished, immigrants, and others our historical representations have been relatively superficial. The author changes that by turning to the late nineteenth century's infant science of nutrition for a look at eating and drinking through the lens of the earliest food consumption studies conducted in the United States. These were undertaken by scientists, mostly chemists, who left their laboratories to observe food consumption in kitchens, dining rooms, and various institutional settings. Their insistence on careful measurement resulted in a substantial body of detailed reports on the eating habits of ordinary people. This work sheds new light on what most Americans were cooking and eating during the Gilded Age. 588 0 Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 19th century|2fast 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1800-1999|2fast 650 0 Diet|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008102259|xHistory|y19th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006167 650 0 Diet|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008102259|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Food habits|zUnited States|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008120942|y19th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012475 650 0 Food habits|zUnited States|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008120942|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012476 650 7 Diet.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/893284 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Food habits.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/930807 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xCustoms & Traditions.|2bisacsh 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aDirks, Robert, 1942-|tFood in the Gilded Age.|dLanham : Rowman & Littlefield, [2016]|z9781442245136 |w(DLC) 2015040482|w(OCoLC)925498139 830 0 Studies in food and gastronomy.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2012137876 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1198330|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
