Vittles 2: Lauren J Joseph, Sheena Patel, & Odhran O’Donoghue

To mark the release of the second print edition of contemporary food and culture magazine Vittles, writers Sheena Patel and Lauren J Joseph will discuss the short stories they contributed to the issue. One of the through lines of Issue 2 – which is themed around the notion of ‘Bad Food’ and celebrates the gross, vulgar and unaesthetic aspects of how we feed ourselves that don’t align with the aspirational bent of typical food media – is an exploration of the inter-relations between food, sex, bodies and desire. Patel and Joseph were in conversation with Vittles editor Odhran O’Donoghue about the relationship between food and the erotic in their writing.
