size=3>The Milliways Lunch Menu quotes, by permission, a passage from the
<U>Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy</U>. The passage is this:</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal
style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt 93.25pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><FONT size=3>The
History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three
distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and
Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why, and Where phases.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal
style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt 93.25pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><FONT size=3>For
instance, the first phase is characterized by the question “How can we eat?,
the second by the question “Why do we eat? and the third by the question,
“Where shall we have lunch?” (Adams 116)</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT size=3>With food seen
more and more to be, as Gunew describes it, “the acceptable face of
multiculturalism”, and the claim that there is more cookery performed on
television than in homes, it would seem that, in Adams’ terms, we are in the
“sophistication phase”. In that case the question of where we should have
lunch, would warrant consideration of issues of seasonality, fashion,
exoticism, eclecticism, style, taste and ethnic identity.</FONT></P>
<P class=transcript style="MARGIN: 12pt 0cm 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0cm"><FONT
size=3>Yet for most of the world’s population food is still a question of
survival, it is still at the “how can we eat” phase. Even in Australia,
welfare providers are describing increasing demands on food parcels and
vouchers and according to the National Nutrition Survey anywhere from 5% of
the population has run out of money for food and has no money to buy more. In
addition to survival, the inquiry phase has not passed us by entirely either.
Nutritionists, sociologists and culturists are still asking the question why
we eat certain foods, and why we eat in a certain way?</FONT></P>
<P class=transcript style="MARGIN: 12pt 0cm 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0cm"><FONT
size=3>We are calling for papers which consider questions of globalism,
sustainability, food security, feminism and domesticity, genetically modified
foods, the everyday and the exotic, slow food and fast food, food and
identity…In short, any papers which might address the questions ‘How can we
eat’, ‘Why do we eat’ and ‘Where shall we have lunch?” </FONT></P>
