ABSTRACT
This chapter investigates aspects of the relationship that tourists develop with food over time. Devon, a county in the south-west of England, is used as a case study and geographical focus. It aims to show how using a specific location and a twentieth century timescale enables the researcher to find out how and why the relationship between place and food evolves. The chapter draws on the experience of domestic tourism during the interwar period from the end of the First World War to the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939.
