physicsroom.org.nzPREORDERS NOW OPEN!
Yawning at the Fray includes Other tongue 餓 ghost kitchen, an exchange and collaboration by artist Ruby White. Between The Physics Room (Ōtautahi) and Bus Projects (Naarm), White has developed this takeaway food service, offering nourishing meals that honour birthing, menstruating bodies and bring comfort to those looking for some inner healing.
"This food has been informed by 坐月子 Zuo yue zi postpartum cuisine (specifically Hakka dishes) and Chinese medicine philosophy, as well as the food I ate during my fourth trimester. I don’t consider this to be a traditional or a modern interpretation of Chinese confinement cuisine, it is simply my way of cooking and intended to bring primordial heat and healing to you or a loved one.
When I designed this menu I was taking into consideration my own limitations as a fulltime carer of our 1 year old, and thinking about what kinds of food and services people already have access to. I wanted to make food that you wouldn’t necessarily make for yourself, especially if recovering from birth, surgery or illness. All the dishes have a medicinal quality to them."
Purchasing the full menu for a friend or family member means they have a few meal options and would make a thoughtful gift. The congee and pork can be frozen and eaten later. Though these meals are inspired by 坐月子 Zuo yue zi, they are delicious for anyone needing a comforting and nutritious meal.
Preorder now on our website until Friday 25 October, for collection between 11am-4pm on Saturday 26 October.
