For a research program I am conducting, "Panics in Our Plates! Contemporary Legends and Conspiracy Theories on Food", I am looking for books or even recent papers dealing with the issue of contemporary legends on food with a theoretical perspective.
There is of course a lot of researches based on case studies or analyzing a specific legend (human flesh sausages, foreigners (make you) eat disgusting things, industrial cooked-dishes made with rats, worm burgers, etc..), but, excepted Le Quellec's Alcool de singe et liqueur de vipère, I surprisingly did not find any large specific contribution on this big topic? Same for CTs on foot which are usually, even in primary sources (i.e. produce by conspiracy theorist), a mere illustration or aspect of the global conspiracy.
Looking for you help so!
If you have any idea, clue, query or question, do not hesitate!
Many thanks
Have you investigated the work of Prof Tim Lang, an old colleague of mine.
Dear Tony Bradley,
Many thanks for your help. Prof Lang's Food Irradiation: the Myth and the Reality seems to be exactly what I'm looking for! I'll carefully investigate his other pieces. Thx
