How can we consume new products? The example of exotic foods (1930-2000)

Résumé

How can we consume new products? This presentation is based on the example of exotic foods and on the detailed analysis of 9758 recipes from 4 German and French magazines, between 1930’s and 2000. Magazines play an important role in taste diffusion, and they are a precious data source fort studying domestic and daily cooking and its transformations. The first point concerns the definition and the characteristics of “exoticism"(order list of foreign recipes in France and Germany, evolutions through time) and it highlights the historical and sociological context of the interest of the diffusion of exotic foods, and the relationship between taste for exoticism and history of gastronomy, colonisation, immigrations streams and tourism, revealing national models. The second point examines the reactions toward culinary novelty: fear as well as seduction. We describe the various processes which encourage to consume new products (selection of products and dishes which are similar to the national tastes, importance of promoters), and we show that, in the same time, foreign recipes are seducing because of their difference with our food habits (they make us travel during a dinner, they are said to be good for health). In consequence exotic foods are a way to improve national cooking and national food habits.
