Today, in cultures which think of themselves as modern, most of the foodwe speak of as raw comes elaborately prepared to the table. It is important tospecify “food we speak of as raw” because _46_ is a culturally constructed,or at least culturally modified, concept. Though we commonly eat many fruitsand some vegetables with minimal preparation, we take their rawness forgranted because it is culturally _47_. No one speaks of raw apples or rawlettuce. Only if the food in question is normally cooked, but _48_ raw, do wespecify raw carrots or raw onions or whatever. When meat and fish are servedraw in the west, their rawness is so exceptional that it takes on extraconnotations of _49_ and risk, of barbarism and primitivism. The Chinesetraditionally classified barbarian tribes into “raw” and “cooked”according to the degree of _50_ they saw in them; and a similar mentalclassification of the world comes easily in the west, where literary traditionhas long equated lust for raw flesh with savagery, blood-thirst and the rage ofgastric impatience.
