For Issue 09 we want your stories of food and rage, recipes for resistance, and the food futures you’re fighting for! 

Food is inherently political.  It can be wielded as a tool of rebellion or a method of warfare. Pies have been known to find their way into the faces of unsavoury political figures, talking heads have suggested millennials stop eating avocado toast if they want to buy a house, and “eat the rich” has become an anti-capitalist rallying cry.  

Food is love, care, and support. But it is also petty, angry, and ugly. The daily battle of deciding what’s for dinner and which in-laws you’re spending the holidays with. Food can be a source of anger or a result of dysfunction: a meal gone awry, a fraught family recipe, the ever-increasing cost of groceries. Food fights can be slapstick, reckless, childish, wasteful, messy, spontaneous, and well-organized. What recipes fuel your resistance? How do you cook for a crowd? Which foods would you sling at whom and why?

We are looking for essays, interviews, poems, illustrations, photography and we always love to see a piece accompanied by a recipe! For this issue, we’d also love to receive profiles of people, organizations, campaigns, and initiatives that inspire you in their fights.

Hungry is now accepting pitches and submissions for

Issue 07: “Funeral Foods”

This issue opens up space for feelings and thoughts around grief and food. The recipes lost when a loved one passes away, the dishes we can no longer indulge in after a break up, connections to culture lost, the community recipes for feeding many people at a funeral, the grief we feel when we see the impacts of climate change on traditional foodways. In our grief we also celebrate what was, cooking our ancestors’ favourite meals, finding connection at your local restaurant, and finding an old recipe book.

This issue is about heat and spice, romance, love, sex, and pleasure. Like a steamy bowl of laksa noodle soup, this issue might make you sweat, might make your tongue tingle like a mouthful of Sichuan peppercorns, but that’s part of the experience, right? Issue 06: Hot & Spicy is an homage to the sensual, erotic, tantalizing side of food. The pleasure of nourishing our bodies. We want your foodie erotica/romance writing. Your tips on organizing your spice cupboard. Your interview with a chilli farmer. Maybe it’s about your favourite restaurant to take a date to. A how-to guide on how to satiate your appetite. Your hot sauce recipe. Or perhaps a poem about that night with your partner where you thought it would be a good idea to invite some snacks into the bedroom. 

Turn the lights down low and dig into this issue of food and pleasure.

Hungry Zine x the Mitchell Art Gallery 

MALL FOOD will be a collaborative zine about food culture at West Edmonton Mall, assembled over the course of the Mitchell Art Gallery’s exhibition: THE MALL. 

Curated by the Hungry Zine team, featuring cover art by Michelle Campos Castillo, and risograph printed by Yolkless Press, the zine will be launched at the Mitchell Art Gallery at the close of the exhibition (March 30). The zine will be (loosely) organized into four phases. 

What comes to mind when you think about food at West Edmonton Mall? Food court culture? Nachos at the waterpark? The timelessness of Orange Julius? Boba? Nightlife on Bourbon Street? Food court lemon-chicken balls? The first time you tried Mexican food (ahem, Taco Time). We want your writing and art about food at West Edmonton Mall (the Mall), and all that it brings up for you – good times, capitalism and consumption, fast food, friends and family, nostalgia, local businesses, eating in public/private spaces, the 80s/90s/the millenium…the sky screamer’s the limit. 

Submission deadline: January 24, 2023

Hungry is now accepting submissions for Issue 05: “Land + Water”.

The conversation about food is impossible without a conversation about land and water. From growing food, harvesting, foraging, fishing and hunting, the ways we interact with the environment shape our food systems. Stolen land and land back, climate change, recreational activities, food, agriculture, and cultural practices all impact our food.

We want to hear about your meditations on your connection to land and water and food – be they creative, weird, warm, or complicated. Share your food stories that are shaped by your times on the land and water, and the foods that shape your relationship to the land and water.

Colour Details: This issue will be printed in: Mint PANTONE 324 U (#82d8d5) and Blue PANTONE 3005 U#0078bf).

We want to elevate and amplify alternative and radical ways of imagining just food systems. We want your writing and art if you engage with food in any way – if you eat, make, grow, think about food –  whether you are involved in the food industry, in agriculture, in community food work, in feeding yourself and others. 

Types of content we are interested in:

• Original reporting/investigative articles
• Interviews and profiles 
• Recipes
• Poetry, personal essays, fiction

You can expect to hear back from us about your piece(s) by the end of October 7th. If you do not hear from us by October 7th, that means we haven’t been able to include your piece in this issue.

Hungry is now accepting submissions for Issue 03: “Restaurants”.

During the pandemic we’ve seen some of our favourite restaurants close, we’ve seen the impacts of precarious work on food industry folks, and we’ve had to rethink our relationships with restaurants. We came to this theme thinking about how much of our food experience is shaped by restaurants. Whether it’s working in them, spending special occasions celebrating in them, or just running for a quick grab and go at our local favourite shop.

Take us beyond the restaurant review or awards list! We want to hear about your favourite restaurants, or the ones you hate, the ones that were closed, and the ones that were replaced, and the people and stories behind them. We want to hear about the experiences from people working in the restaurant industry, or a special moment that you experienced in a restaurant, or your favourite dish.

How do you recreate, create and document home cooking knowledge?
