The issue includes "The Limits of Disgust: Eating the Inedible During Jamestown’s Starving Time" by Rachel Winchcombe: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/20549547.2023.2234252 (this year I've had great conversations with UG and MA students about this article, collegial disagreement, and the evolution of our scholarship)

Next, there's "'What Would We Not Have Eaten?' Animals and Disgust in Colonial Starvation Narratives" by @daniellealesi.bsky.social: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/20549547.2024.2342182 (here I've learned lots more about animals in colonial travel narratives)

After that, read "Colonizing Condiments: Culinary Experimentation and the Politics of Disgust in Early Modern Britain" by Jack Bouchard, Amanda Herbert, and @juliafine.bsky.social: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/20549547.2024.2357928 (fascinating on the adaptation of achaar & fish sauce & the rejection of chile)

From @meghnasapui.bsky.social's "Domesticating Disgust: Food, Labor, and Disgust in Colonial India" I've learned about the Anglo-Indian travelogues, cookbooks, household guides, and fiction that asserted racial and civilizational supremacy in C19 India: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/20549547.2024.2301890

We cross back over an ocean again with Ilaria Berti's “'I Never Met with a Worse Article in My life': Disgusting Food and Repellent Food Habits in the Nineteenth-Century Caribbean Colonies" https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/20549547.2024.2341574 (loved an excuse to think and learn more about Cuba, Jamaica, and Antigua)

And we conclude in Colombia with Mercedes Lopez-Rodriguez's "Food Encounters in the Tropics and the Andes: Isaac Holton’s Sensorial Construction of Disgust with Colombian Food in the Nineteenth Century": https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/20549547.2024.2421635 (anxiety over achiote, cumin, and garlic, oh my!)
