With the fourth issue of dhoop, we wanted to explore food through the lens of places and places through the food that defines them. During this journey, the term hyperlocal presented itself through literature, pop culture, media, reels, and branding terminology — it was everywhere. Did we know what it exactly meant? No. Do we know what it means now? Not completely.
Well, in this case, defining is only part of the objective because defining it limits how we understand it, how we view the world, and how we imagine. What if we deconstruct the term and what it has come to mean, and remake it in our own way?

Same Same but…: Aam/ Mango of Opar and Epar
Summer 2017. I was conducting fieldwork in sweetshops in Rajshahi, Bangladesh. I bought a bottle of water, and a waft of aroma of Himsagar Aam engulfed my mind. I followed the aroma to find a heap of perfectly shaped Himsagar Aam getting arranged on mango leaves in the local bazaar.

Banana And Beef
Unusual food combinations are de rigueur these days — think Oreos and orange juice, vanilla ice cream with soy sauce, Diet Coke with jalapeño juice, even dosa with ramen as a filling.

A good story, like a good dish, is born out of a carefully considered and well-executed recipe. A pitch is very much like that. A good pitch should be more than a headline and less than a story.

You'll find readings that are spread across a wide a spectrum — from cooking for one to cooking for many, from the gender of the cook to the gender of the eater, from tools and technology that ease and complicate cooking to relationships one has with this act. There is more to cooking than you might think!

The act of eating together is deeply meaningful to many, troublesome for some and alienating for others. Commensality is not all romantic. Through this reading list we have tried to put together a diverse range of stuff that we read before putting this issue of there.

Issue 04: Hyperlocal
Speaking of man-made, who decided what is local to a place? Can only native, indigenous things be local? If origin doesn’t make something truly hyperlocal, what does? Could it be the destination? Indigenisation? Re-territorialisation? Or, naturalisation? Is local something you are born with, or is it something you simply become?
