Summary/Abstract: Studying how people, alias characters, eat and drink in books, allows us a better understanding of the intricacy of one’s cultural identity through the decoding of the key leading to the significances carried by meals in terms of pattern of a culture. The comparison undertaken by Magda Danciu and Delia Radu, between texts, approaches and ideas should facilitate the demonstration of the fact culinary taste is culturally shaped and expresses how complex this primary human activity can be and what the dynamic this social component can appear at a closer inspection.
