An exploration of the origins of the British Christmas dinner, tracing the journeys of its ingredients and questioning what makes a dish truly British.

The experience reimagined the traditional Christmas table through a gravy fondue, playfully positioning gravy as the only element with truly British origins. The dish became a lens through which to explore colonial histories, cultural exchange and the ways in which dominant cultures can absorb and redefine ingredients from elsewhere.
