This thesis investigates Israeli gastrodiplomacy and everyday nationalism as expressed through the increasing presence and consumption of a pickled mango condiment known as ‘amba, in Stockholm, Sweden. Brought from India to Iraq in the 19th century, the Iraqi Jewish community ritualised the consumption of ‘amba into their after-school snacks and Shabbat morning breakfasts, effectively coming to stand as a culinary symbol of the Iraqi Jewish community. The introduction of ‘amba to Israeli foodways after the mass migration of Iraqi Jews to Israel was eventually celebrated as a symbol of the Jewish state, and as a food of the new national Jewish body. Through fieldwork in Stockholm, this thesis investigates Jewish ideas of ethnic identity and national belonging as affected by Israeli soft nationalism keyed into middle class aesthetics and lifestyle tastes towards food.
