Title |
Eating in the City: Diet and Provisioning in Early Nineteenth-Century Montreal
|
Abstract |
Using business records and other sources, the author reconstructs the diets for two groups at opposite ends of early nineteenth century Montreal's social structure: Lachine Canal workers and wealthy elites. The author also examines how and where people in the city got their food, as well as the economic aspects of food-getting, prices and food budgets. The author shows that ethnicity and personal preference had an effect on what people ate. For example, Francophone and Anglophone canal workers showed differences in taste and variations in diets.
