Containing papers on diverse topics, including on luxury and historical imperialism, the food served in twentieth-century Dutch airplanes, and safe guarding with gender differences in twenty-first-century Indian train compartments, the studies encompassed all kinds of travel foods, both of exploration and nomadic life, from pemmican and penguin meat to achar and qurut.
