The Aristocrat Diet embodies the dietary habits of the upper class, focusing on rich, bland meals while shunning foods deemed lower class, like turnips and deep-fried items. Annabel Bower, an Australian food stylist with aristocratic culinary experience, notes that their meals were simple: pork sausages, mashed potatoes, and sponge cake were common, with an emphasis on whole vegetables. Despite being low in processed foods, the diet primarily consists of meat and cake, revealing an underlying insecurity about class identity linked to food choices, as exemplified by historical deviations from strict norms.
The aristocrat diet is high in fresh vegetables but largely consists of meat and cake, adhering to strict notions of class distinction in food.
Annabel Bower's insights reveal that aristocrats avoid foods perceived as lower class, such as minced meat and deep-fried items, adhering to 'proper' dining.
