The word gastronomy itself was first introduced in France last two centuries, when the French author Jacques
Berchoux titled his poem La Gastronomies, ou l’homme des champs table (Gastronomy, or the peasant at the table). The
word became popular and in 1835 was included in the dictionary of the French Academy as ‘the art of good eating’ [7].
Gastronomy emphasizes that food is a core component of every culture.
