"The sharing of food is seen as indicative of a close relationship. Conversely when petitioning for divorce one of the indications of separation is that meals are no longer shared by marital partners. The sharing of food is therefore something that happens within family households and is an indication of their existence."(Charles, N (1995), "Food and family ideology", in Jackson, S, Moores, S (Eds),The Politics of Domestic Consumption, Prentice-Hall/Harvester Wheatsheaf, Hemel Hempstead)
