The use of wheat, a product which was introduced by the Spanish administration and which is today massively imported, reflects age-old transformations and the particular situation of food knowledge of the Andean society of Peru. In farming communities, processed wheat products are quantitatively rated highest in domestic consumption, notably because of the subsidy on the price of imported wheat and the changes within the organisation of local consumption. This quantitative availability of processed wheat products has modified local food practices : a) supply : decrease in wheat production and barter. b) processing : felt as a time constraint. c) preparation : changes in everyday dishes and the abandoning of more elaborate ones. The different transformations observed depend on the accessibility of market and the social strategies of peasant families. It is the ingredients which change rather than the culinary practices, and the everyday dishes rather than those which have high symbolic value. On the other hand, the new products (bread & pasta) are more appreciated than processed flour, and their acceptance is due to their flavor. Nevertheless, the use of certain products is accompanied by negative representations or contradictions which illustrate the difficulties of change in the peasant's food style. (Résumé d'auteur)
