Kalam
Kalām, كَلَام, which means "words" and "conversation" in Arabic, is our journal for cultural exploration. Within its pages, we weave together the diverse threads of Tunisian culture through the prism of food.
A (Sensorial-Political) Guide to Eating in Tunis
Before we get into the juicy stuff, briefly note what's off the menu today.
What this guide is not:
- A repository for objectively 'good food' - this does not exist. Taste is entirely relational (i.e., connected to a memory or a place) and situational (i.e., dependent on the season or our emotional state). Hierarchies of taste are just elitisms of the mouth.
