EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing image from the 1830s, titled "The Horrors of Foreign Food: Water I do declare - with worms in it. (soup with vermicelli)", offers a humorous and culturally intriguing glimpse into the experiences of British travelers abroad during the 19th century. The photograph depicts a steaming bowl of pasta e fagioli, or soup with vermicelli, a traditional Italian dish. However, the title and the expression of horror on the face of the diner suggest that this particular meal was far from pleasurable. The presence of wriggling worms in the soup is a common theme in travel literature and art of the time, often used to depict the perceived dangers and unfamiliarity of foreign cuisine. For many British travelers, Italy and its food were particularly exotic and often perceived as unsanitary. The use of worms in pasta dishes was a common practice in rural areas, where they were considered a source of protein and a way to add flavor to the dish. Despite the apparent disgust, this image also speaks to the pleasures of pasta and the rich culinary traditions of Italy that continue to captivate travelers and food enthusiasts to this day. The image invites us to reflect on the complex relationship between food, culture, and identity, and the way that our perceptions of the unfamiliar can shape our experiences and attitudes. The photograph is a reminder that food is not just a source of sustenance, but also a powerful symbol of cultural exchange and exploration. Whether we are trying new dishes on our travels or in our own kitchens, the pleasures and horrors of pasta and other foreign foods continue to inspire and delight us.
