Abstract
This research, namely, The Literature of Food in the
Abbasid Period evolves around part of what was said with regard
to food and drink during the Abbasid period, either depicting or
praising them. There is absolutely no doubt concerning what was
mentioned on this subject reflects various types of peoples
behavior, as well as their lifestyles during that era.
It also reflects their traditions as to their eating and drinking.
It is understood that the social backgrounds of many poets-who
were deeply involved in such issues in their poetry -were behind
their great fondness of eating, which could be related to two
reasons. Firstly, because they lacked food, due to being poor,
secondly, because they were able to obtain it, due to being well off
financially.
This paper tackles numerous types of poetical patterns,
which the researcher was able to analyze. she (the researcher)
believes that this process would help in exploring the poet’s world
and would reveal the hidden sides of the text itself as well
