Gastronomic Society Foodways

Txokoa

Community

Members’ cooking clubs, from the 1870s in Donostia: a kitchen and a long table, members cook for each other and mark what they take from the store. ⚠ Many barred women for a century and some still restrict membership; that is part of the institution’s history and is recorded rather than smoothed over. Not every Basque community has one.

What is recorded

Gastronomic societies date from 1870s Donostia and many excluded women from membership — some restrictions persisted into the twenty-first century. That is part of the institution’s documented history. Not every Basque town has one, and they are not a model of Basque society as a whole. documented
