Gastrodiplomacy
I love food! I am working on a section of this website dedicated to "gastrodiplomacy."
- Gastro: "relating to the stomach" (Oxford Languages)
- Diplomacy: "the art of dealing with people in a sensitive and effective way" (Oxford Languages)
- Gastrodiplomacy: connecting with people through their stomachs
The Wikipedia page for gastrodiplomacy uses a quote from Paul S. Rockower to describe the basic premise: "the easiest way to win hearts and minds is through the stomach."
Stay tuned for more! I hope to have some posts up during Summer 2025.
