Håkan Jönsson: Restrictions as Culinary Heritage: A Study of Restaurant Politics in Sweden

DOI: https://doi.org/10.61380/978-963-567-084-0-26

Abstract: A detailed restriction system for restaurants in Sweden was developed from 1850 to 1922. The original restriction framework was dismantled in 1955, but many of the restrictions remained in place. The paper, based on official documents and news articles, argues that the restrictions can be seen as a living culinary cultural heritage, which has implications for both the restaurant industry and the general public.
