Transactions in Cultural Capital

Some transactions in cultural capital, which could also be thought of as habitus, include the following: 

​

TIK TOK EXCHANGES

Many of the interviewees who are Foodies noted that they use TikTok to find new places to eat. Knowing where to find good TikTok accounts with respectable recommendations is cultural capital related to eating out, so the act of exchanging these TikToks is a display of cultural capital. Friend groups who are made up of Foodies tend to take part in this exchange quite often.

​

SPEAKING ABOUT DIFFERENT CUSINES & INGREDIENTS

Talking about different cusines in detail and the different ways in which they use ingredients is a display of one's knowledge about those cusines.

​

TALKING ABOUT ONE'S TASTE IN FOOD – ESPECIALLY ABOUT TRYING NEW DISHES

One taste that tends to be shared within the Foodie community is going out of one's comfort zone and trying new dishes. Thus, a display of cultural capital here is being able to talk about the outlandish or new dishes a person has recently tried.
