Gastro criticism is a comparatively new approach to the study of literary text. There were some studies in the field of cultural studies which dealt with the relationship between culinary practices, food and culture. But Gastro criticism emerged as distinct filed in the literary theory and studies after 2000. Gastro criticism tries to study the representation and depiction of culinary practice, food, eating habits and eating scenes and its relation with other forms of culture. It uses insights and knowledge from various other fields such as anthropology, cultural studies, gastronomy, literature and semiotics, so it multidisciplinary in the nature. Food does not just sustain us, but it also reveals power structures in a society. It also reveals the economic condition of a society. We can use gastro critical approach to study a particular author and reveal the depiction of society in all its varied aspects. Food habits also reveal the nature of an individual. The present research paper applies gastro critical approach to poetry of Seamus Heaney and tries to reveal the various implication of depiction of food in his poetry.
