In a field at the Museum of East Anglian Life, a very long table is set for dinner. Here many hundreds of people from across the region will come together and share a giant communal feast – a picnic of food that tastes like home, made from recipes found in the On Landguard Point Cookbook and beyond. This enormous feast will also be captured for the On Landguard Point film.

Professor Martin Jones, from the Department of Archaeology at Cambridge University asks:

‘What does it mean for us to assume access to ingredients from around the World? How does each dish need to be served in order to offer it appropriately? What are the protocols for how to eat these foods, and do Western models of dining fit in each instance?’

We don’t need to leave the East of England in order to reach the world – our own community reaches much further than that. The On Landguard Point team are now attempting to collect recipes that represent as many diverse notions of ‘home’ as possible, in order to create and share a new free On Landguard Point Cookbook that genuinely reflects our region.

You are warmly invited to join us at An Edible Compass – A Feast. Please bring as much food as you would like to eat or share. The event will take the form of a giant ground picnic, with the first few hundred people to arrive also invited to dine at a specially laid table, and become part of the OLP film. You are invited to wear anything you wish, but any visible logos are strongly discouraged.
