This paper traces the changes in Victorian culinary practices using thecase of Lewis Carroll’s celebrated ‘mock-turtle soup’ as an example.Looking at Victorian cookery books, it is interesting how ‘mock’ dishesproliferated during the period. This tendency conceals an increasingproblem of food adulteration in the Victorian food industry. In this way,Victorian cookery books offer a route to understand one aspect of sociallife. To view food as something that is of interest to those studying literarytexts, not merely to cook, is significant in investigating the cornucopia ofcustom and cuisine in the phrase ‘mock turtle soup’. Many layers ofmeaning unfold as we explore Carroll’s use of the term ‘mock turtle soup’,ranging across food culture and touching upon a rich variety of cultural andsocial issues.
