Study of old seafood recipes shows UK tastes have narrowed
Original: Whale meat curry for dinner? Study of bygone seafood recipes shows how UK tastes have narrowed
A new study of historical British seafood recipes has found that the range of fish and shellfish eaten in the UK has shrunk dramatically over time. Older cookbooks feature dishes now considered unusual, including whale meat curry, showing that past generations ate a far wider variety of marine foods. Researchers suggest the narrowing of tastes has implications for food culture and sustainable seafood choices.
Why now: The surprising example of whale meat curry and the finding that modern British diets have become less varied are drawing attention to the study.
