Katz Esther auteur aut IRD text journalArticle eng text/pdf born digital access Until recently diet was linked to the seasonal availability of ingredients. But besides this constraint, do people adapt their diet to daily or seasonal weather variations ? To answer this question, this article will examine diets from different cultures, from equatorial to temperate climates, using a comparative perspective. The article stems from my experience of being offered chicken stroganoff in the Amazon, which I perceived as a "winter dish". In equatorial or tropical climates, even those with strong seasonal differences between a rainy and a dry season, it turns out that weather is rarely taken into account. In temperate countries with marked seasonal variations, diets follow the seasons and the weather. But each culture approaches this in a different way. Globalization tends to blur seasonal variations and social considerations may be stronger than weather. specialized ZONE TEMPEREE ZONE TROPICALE BRESIL AMAZONIE MEXIQUE 054ALIM 106ANTHRO1 021METEO Becker K. ed. edt IRD Rittersma R.C. ed. edt IRD 17 1 81-98 2019 1780-3187 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010079625 10.1484/J.FOOD.5.120194 1780-3187 [F B010079625] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010079625 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/depot/2020-12-23/010079625.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2020-11-04 2025-11-04 fdi:010079625 fre
