I'd like to second the recommendation to check out the ASFS.  They
publish a
journal, Food, Culture, & Society, and membership offers a discount on
another very interesting publication called Gastronomica.  They also
sponsor
an annual conference--I went to the one a few years back in Victoria,
British Columbia, and let me just say that the usual history conference
buffets don't have raw oyster tastings.  Or local prawns.  Or salmon
tastings.

The syllabi on their website are very informative.  Anyone in the NYC
area
is welcome to email me off-list for local food/history connections.
