Stuart Freedman on London’s Eel, Pie, and Mash Shops

Summary

What do eel, pie, and mash shops reveal about London's past, and what role do they play in the current moment? In this episode, Stuart Freedman talks with Signe Rousseau about his research on forgotten foods and changing urban spaces, forthcoming in ⁠Gastronomica’s newest issue (Summer 2023)⁠. Combining sensory ethnography with the concepts of nostalgia and resistance, Freedman explores working class identity through the social worlds of London's disappearing eel, pie, and mash shops.
