<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT size=3>This paper will
explore the part that food culture plays in diasporic and multicultural society.
Starting out by looking at the representation of 'Indian' food (high street
South Asian restaurants and take-aways), and the concomitant (though much more
marginal) representation of Indian consumption of English food, within
<st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> popular culture, I argue that food
is the scene for both xenophobic and xenophilic inter-cultural contact. Because
food is often a focus of </FONT><FONT size=3>both racist reaction and
cosmopolitan desires I theorise why food has been such a contested and
viscerally active agent in the forming of multicultural <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Britain</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Using
psychoanalysis, theories of affect, and cultural history I open-up popular
cultural representations on to the histories of migration and the psycho-social
dynamics of alimentary culture.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
