THE language of food is changing at breakneck speed to reflect new menus, new mash-ups, new diets, new hashtags.
"We need new words and labels to give voice to our food obsessions and anxieties," said Josh Friedland, the author of the new book Eatymology: The Dictionary of Modern Gastronomy. "And we especially need more words to describe gastronomic emoting," such as "hangry", Mr Friedland said that he himself suffers from "Nordepression", a state of acute ennui brought on by the words "new Nordic cuisine".
