Sorry, never heard.:-)))

This article is in French: Martin-Juchat, F., 2004, « Empathie et rites de table », in J. J. Boutaud (dir.) L’imaginaire dela table, Paris, L’Harmattan : pp. 133-150

Maybe this article can be a starting point..

Thanks Samuel, This is a rather helpful starting point. I am in trouble since most of the articles on the topic are in laguages not familiar to me - Italian, Spanish, Danish....
