| Streszczenie: | Reminiscence of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL), which existed between mid-13th century and 1795, still exists in present-day Lithuania, Poland and Belarus, especially in the culinary heritage. Using the same set of dishes, cooking techniques, old cookbooks, culinary myths and anecdotes, each nation-state or region on the terrain of the former GDL exploits it in their own way, using complex, sometimes irrational, sets of “filters,” imposed by politicians and ethnologists. In the 21st century local elites face the necessity of re-defining their culinary identities. Dishes or products previously labeled “alien” now have to be dusted off and conceptualized commercially. As a result, the discourse on history and anthropology of food and drink on the former terrain of the GDL gradually starts to realize that it deals with the same subject. |
