Season 3 of Fashionably Ate is here! We've been doing this podcast for two years now, and still loving it. Thanks for listening! In this episode, we talk about death, grief, and dressing the deceased, mostly in the fashion section. If this isn't your thing, you can skip right to the food at around 21 minutes in. Torey talks about the history of burial shrouds, winding sheets, and dressing the dead in their best/favourite clothes as the funerary industry has changed. Steph struggled to find details of diverse food practices at funerals, but thanks to listeners she managed to talk about a few. Party sandwiches and rugulach made up our platters this month. This is part one of a two-part series on funerals and the clothing and food traditions associated with them. Part two will focus on mourning clothes and comfort dishes brought to mourning families by their communities. If you have experienced funerals in communities other than white, Christian-background ones, we'd love to hear from you! Drop us a line through gmail, Facebook or Instagram.
