Episode 7: Culture of Feasting

Written By Andrea McCoy

Feasting! The food, the family and the . . . hierarchy!? Say what? In this post-Thanksgiving episode, we will unpack the culture of feasting and how historically to present day, feasting has always been a universal means of identity, social belonging and cultural expression. Feasts transcend beyond eating a meal inviting us to realize that they reinforce community bonds, hierarchy, tradition, and even political power.

In this episode, we celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving and express gratitude, all while exploring the intricate culture of feasting. We’ll travel across cultural, country and traditional boundaries, highlighting how feasting is a universal practice found even among primates. We’ll even explore the political aspects of feasts and how one meal can determine war or peace.

Share gratitude and join us in this festive and thankful episode.
