[Gala-l] Gendered discourse about food and drink

[Heba Nayef]

Hi All
In my IGALA 8 paper 'Abstract Dominance: Linguistic investigation of gender orientation in vernacular Cairene Arabic' I have dedicated a section (4.2.1.2 ) to pet names in Egyptiam Arabic that links women to food. A common linguistic behavior  in the Egyptian society.

Does anyone have any recommendations about research that has looked at similar topics, either dealing specifically with alcohol or with the broader gendering of food? (Hines' paper on gendered metaphors and food is the only thing that comes to mind.)
