Miniatures Episode 17: Everyday Food Histories with Dr Sarah Frank and Dr Peggy Brunache

Miniatures is Back! New episodes every 2nd Monday, starting this week! What can couscous, Soul Food and meat-free meals tell us about the everyday lives of people in the past? Prof. Kate Ferris is joined by Dr Sarah Frank and Dr Peggy Brunache to explore all things food history! Tune in as they discuss everyday food practices, agency and power among French Colonial POWs in WW2, citizens of Fascist Italy, and enslaved people in the Atlantic Slave Trade, and find out why Slave Cuisine is such an important concept and why we should all be thinking more about our meals.
