Preview:

Although food consumption among urban people in Ottoman history remains an under researched area, there is a growing body of literature on the food consumption of those living in the palace and among the elite. This asymmetry is in parallel with the lack of historical documents. This means that while there is a wide range of historical sources corresponding with the studies concerning the elite’s food consumption, there is a lack of archival documents that can shed light on urban people. Within this framework, this study suggests using the probate inventories of grocers, who were scattered around the neighbourhoods and kept a wide range of products in their shops.
