Yet this anthology, featuring more than one hundred literary explorations of our food and food culture, also shows that when people write about food, they often aren't just talking about food but usually about something else, closer to the heart. Or the bone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurated from previously published work and selections from an open call, the poems, fiction and non-fiction in \u003cem\u003eFood Republic\u003c\/em\u003e range from the passionately realised to tantalisingly surreal. Think of it as a buffet, a banquet, an omakase, a smorgasbord, a nasi padang spread, a thali or a rijssttafel – we hope we've assembled one to your taste. Come.
