I’ve been meaning to write a post on food at larp for some time. By food at larp, I mean not the mass catering element. There’s others that know so much more of that than I do. I mean stitching feeding into the body of a larp, so that it’s as much a part of the play as possible, as opposed to a break from it.

Simply one of my favourite images of larp, by Tom Garnett, full album here
Every couple of years, I brace myself for actually *taking responsibility* for the food at a larp. I generally blog around those weekends here, because I give them a fair amount of thought I like to have to turn to later.
Then just today, I found someone has already written the article I would have done. All I need do is point you at Göthberg,R and Sandquist S (2017) Food for Thought: Narrative Through Food at Larps, available from https://nordiclarp.org/2017/02/17/food-thought-narrative-food-larps/ [Accessed 28th July 2020]
It’s simply excellent. If anything occurs to add, I’ll make a little list later on.
- Like this blog of historical food, for example
