The postal organizations affiliated to »PostEurop« are issuing »EUROPA« stamps on the topic »Gastronomy« this year. Gastronomy is an integral part of our lives. Eating in the restaurant with family or friends is one of the most popular leisure activities today. The tradition of going out to eat spans millennia: Even in early China, markets sold not only fresh goods but also ready-made food. And the symposium, the feast of Greek antiquity, was a meeting place for cultural performances and political discussions. The meaning of the enjoyment of food and drinks can also be read by the term »gastronomy«. For its true meaning in the Greek-French sense of the word is "prescription for the care of the abdomen."
