Indonesia. Indonesia food and eating habits
Indonesians commonly eat rice at every meal with a variety of side dishes of meat, fish, and vegetables. Energy is expensive, and foods are often quick-fried or sauted. Even with the fertility of Indonesian lands and a long growing season, Indonesia often imports rice, a testament to its importance. Cuisines vary greatly across the archipelago, but some common national dishes have evolved, such as sate, which is barbecued beef or chicken with sweet soy and peanut sauce; nasi goreng, or fried rice; gado-gado, or steamed vegetables with peanut sauce; ayam goreng, or fried chicken; and soto ayam, which is curried chicken soup. Many Indonesians eat these foods at their favorite roadside stalls, called warung, as they offer value and convenience over restaurants. Along Indonesia's highways and in every town and mall are worldwide fast-food franchises that sell burgers, pizza, chicken, and Chinese food. Explore local favorites, meals at home, and dining etiquette.

Black Beans, White Rice: On the Racialization of Table Manners in Brazil, 1805-2018/Feijao Preto, Arroz Branco: Sobre a Racializacao dos Modos a Mesa no Brazil, 1805-2018
Following the implosion of the \"racial democracy\" myth, scholars have debated the role of cultural imperialism apparent in the shift toward dichotomous \"black-white\" expressions of race in Brazil. This contribution situates quotidian expressions of cultural imperialism at the heart of racialization projects. Building from research on \"blackness\" as a transnational historical phenomenon, this article examines how one particular expression of cultural \"whiteness\" came to social life in Brazil. The account draws on ethnographic research in southern Bahia and 19th century travel writing to trace how a particular manner of eating beans and rice, which some rural Bahians today describe as \"eating by hand\" (comendo de mao), transitioned from being an unmarked and widespread commensal practice in the 19th century–even among Brazil's social elites–to become a stigmatized and racialized practice, as expressed in contemporary race ideologies. While the use of utensils became a sign of whiteness, eating by hand was reconstituted as a mark of non-whiteness.

Eating Together
An insightful map of the landscape of social meals, Eating Together: Food, Friendship, and Inequality argues that the ways in which Americans eat together play a central role in social life in the United States. Delving into a wide range of research, Alice P. Julier analyzes etiquette and entertaining books from the past century and conducts interviews and observations of dozens of hosts and guests at dinner parties, potlucks, and buffets. She finds that when people invite friends, neighbors, or family members to share meals within their households, social inequalities involving race, economics, and gender reveal themselves in interesting ways: relationships are defined, boundaries of intimacy or distance are set, and people find themselves either excluded or included.
