Kosovo’s culinary culture: change and continuity

Abstract

This essay describes the food culture in Kosova by focusing mainly on habits, preferences and choices. It provides a short analysis of food relations within other wider social relations by focusing on case studies. The anthropology of South‑East Europe can only benefit from the study of food culture in the “everyday” context as well as from a “bottom‑up” approach to cultural change. This ethnograpy of the “mundane” gives insights into change and transition in post‑socialist societies. In the case of post‑war Kosova, political, economic, and social changes have introduced a great variety of new foodstuff, thus opening up the possibilities of choices and preferences. Yet, it appears indeed that food taste and food preferences in the home context have not changed much.
