Dear Irish Studies list
Apologies for any cross-posting
I have been approached by a student here in Sligo who is doing a 4th year thesis on the role of tea-drinking in residential care
Even though I am pretty familiar with the work on the sociology of food, I am stymied on the topic of tea!
Does anybody know of any work that examines the social aspects of tea-drinking?
Given its ubiquity in Irish, British and Australasian cultures, it is remarkable that there doesn't seem to be anything
(I suspect Japanese, Chinese and Indian tea-drinking is - shall we say - another cup of tea!)
Or, more likely, there is material out there, and I don't know about it!
Any help gratefully received :-)
