"Hot Food: A Journey Through Time and Compassion" Step back in time to the year 1862, as we visit The Society of Friends Soup Kitchen on Ball Street, Lower Moseley Street in Manchester. This engraving from the Illustrated London News captures a scene filled with warmth and nourishment, where hot meals were served to those in need. Fast forward to 1910, when Free Meals for London's Poorest Citizens became a reality. In this pencil-on-paper artwork captured by the Daily Graphic, we witness the compassion that fueled these soup kitchens. Black and white photography transports us into an era where hot food brought solace amidst challenging times. "All Hot. Or, Murphy for Manchester, " exclaims an engraving that encapsulates the spirit of culinary delights offered during this period. It reminds us of how food can unite communities and bring comfort even during difficult circumstances. Charity knows no bounds; it transcends time and place. An oil-on-canvas masterpiece from 1876 showcases acts of kindness through warm meals shared with those less fortunate. It serves as a reminder that empathy has always been at the core of humanity. The artistry continues with "All Hot. All Hot. " by Bouchardon, created between 1737-1742. This captivating piece invites us to explore not only physical warmth but also emotional satisfaction derived from indulging in delicious dishes. In another work by Bouchardon titled "Baked Apples. ", we are transported further back in time while witnessing simple pleasures like enjoying piping-hot apples straight from the oven—a timeless symbol of comfort and contentment. Moving away from historical depictions, our journey takes us to Mr Thomas Reay's stall where a customer cradles her baby while buying steaming hot potatoes—an everyday act highlighting how food sustains both body and soul across generations. Venturing beyond borders brings us face-to-face with vibrant green chili peppers found in Lhasa, Xizang China.
