Food and Revolutionary Art

interesting posts by geeta and simon on the vexed question of food and music. am reminded that the insult bertolt brecht reserved for the art he didn't like was culinary, implying a huysmans-esque disengagement, an obsession with flavours and presentation rather than nourishing content...could a case be made that the phemomena of the british, who defeated fascism on spam and suet pudding, attaining an interest in cooking, and the mass depoliticisation of the same, are in some way linked? let them eat cake, etc
