Foodways refer to the cultural, social, and economic practices surrounding the production, distribution, and consumption of food within a community. This concept examines how food is integrated into daily life, including traditions, rituals, and the significance of certain dishes. It encompasses everything from farming and cooking methods to food-related social interactions and the impact of globalization on local cuisines.
