Abstract

Politics and food are skillfully intertwined in renowned Taiwanese author Li Ang’s 李昂 (Shih Shu-tuan 施淑端; 1952–) “Beef Noodle Soup” (牛肉麵), a story in her unique food novel, An Erotic Feast for Lovebirds (鴛鴦春膳, 2007). This chapter examines how Li Ang revives a lesser-known part of historical memory—the political prisoners in the 1960s Taiwan—and reimagines their visceral, gustatory, and related psychological trauma through the nexus of beef noodle soup, prison food, and execution. It is argued that in problematizing our understanding of beef noodle soup, this story continues Li Ang’s critical reflections on Taiwan’s colonial past, historical trauma, resistance to repressions, cultural hybridity, and nationhood.
