ResumoAbstract This research note compares the food consumption of two different groups of working men, the Buccaneers of the Caribbean in the 17th century, and the miners of the 1849 gold rush in California. Both groups depended on similar monotonous diets of preserved rations for their daily fare, and they had similar practices of binge drinking and luxury dining when opportunities arose. We speculate on ways that masculinity was constructed around particular kinds of food consumption.
