Hello everyone.
I thought you might be interested in getting tickets for this special Serve it Forth Christmas event on 11 December called A Christmas Feast of the Uncanny. Tickets are just £5 (plus Eventbrite booking fee) and the event runs from 7:00pm to 8:45pm.
If you can’t make the whole event, the evening will be recorded and shared soon after.
In case you didn’t know, but Sam Bilton, Alessandra Pino and me are all big horror fans, and Christmas is associated with spooky, ghostly tales. We would love to see you there.
Serve it Forth Food History Festival invites you to an evening exploring the eerie side of Yuletide food traditions.
Step beyond the cozy glow of twinkling holiday lights and into a Christmas world where the shadows tell their own tales. A Christmas Feast of the Uncanny is an immersive online event that explores the eerie, strange, and deliciously dark side of Yuletide traditions through the lens of food.
Join the Serve It Forth team at this live virtual gathering to discover:
- Why ghost stories are so popular at Christmas as we explore the food references in some of the lesser-known ghoulish tales from Charles Dickens and his like.
- The significance of otherworldly beings like elves, witches and monsters at this time of the year and their relationship to food.
- The origins of traditional Christmas foods and the old customs that linked them to fortune-telling and other forms of the supernatural.
