The Second Arab Gulf Conference on Folklore and Oral History
by Philip Iddison
Traditional food is an important component of a nation’s heritage and as such is part of the context of folklore. Folklore may record any aspect of a nation’s past heritage including traditional food.
Food is an essential part of our lives from birth to death. At one extreme it is necessary for our existence and at the other a luxury to be enjoyed on special occasions. It has been an ever present theme through the folklore of any nation and should be an essential part of folklore studies.
this might be helpful to those of you working on food and the UAE.
