- Title
From Law to Urban Legend, and Vice Versa: Creative Food Counterfeiting in Early Modern Spain.
- Authors
del RÍO PARRA, Elena
- Abstract
This text takes on common urban legends related to food forgery in order to find ground in legal texts. While literature is keen on food counterfeiting and perpetuates common topics, there seems to be more than a taste for literary expression: town cries and ordinances are eloquent in pointing out elaborate methods to manipulate certain foods, some of which coincide to what were believed to be cultural myths.
