Foaia româneascã: 7 Decades In-Between Documenting Social Reality and Culinary Journalism

Summary/Abstract: The current article analyzes food references published by Foaia româneascã. This periodical was first printed in Gyula in 1951 and it is defining for the Romanian minority in Hungary since it provides political, economic, social or cultural information relevant for the community. The article focuses on columns and articles dedicated to food and provides a diachronic investigation on food as a distinct topic for the periodical. It results in a complex image in which the very idea of food ranges from trying to prepare “exotic” recipes in the ’50s, to the extremely austere approach of the ’80s and up to the well-known current appetite for contemporary gastronomic festivals or preference for “traditional” recipes and food.
