description This paper aims at demonstrating the daily eating habits of the inhabitants of the Viceroyalty of New Spain during the XVIII century. This study seeks to understand thedynamic changes in habits related to coexistence, and the exploitation of the privileged setting of New Spain, from a long term perspective. Eating habits are used to identify social distinctions inherent in eating, which are not directly related to the ethnic background of the population, but to the cost of food and the possibility of obtaining it. Hence, the consumption of privileged sectors, workers, people in extreme poverty and indigenous groups can be identiied.

This paper aims at demonstrating the daily eating habits of the inhabitants of the Viceroyalty of New Spain during the XVIII century. This study seeks to understand thedynamic changes in habits related to coexistence, and the exploitation of the privileged setting of New Spain, from a long term perspective. Eating habits are used to identify social distinctions inherent in eating, which are not directly related to the ethnic background of the population, but to the cost of food and the possibility of obtaining it. Hence, the consumption of privileged sectors, workers, people in extreme poverty and indigenous groups can be identiied. El propósito del artículo es entregar una visión de las prácticas alimentarias cotidianas de los habitantes del virreinato de la Nueva España durante el siglo XVIII, bajo una perspectiva de larga duración que permite la comprensión de una dinámica de cambios en las costumbres, relacionadas con la convivencia y el aprovechamiento del privilegiado entorno natural novohispano. Las prácticas alimentarias son utilizadas además, para detectar distinciones sociales en el comer, que no estarían necesariamente relacionadas con la procedencia étnica de la población, sino más bien con los costos de los alimentos y las posibilidades de adquirirlos. En ese sentido, se distinguen consumos de sectores privilegiados, de grupos de trabajadores y de miserables e indígenas. Le but de cet article est de donner un aperçu des pratiques alimentaires quotidiennes des habitants de la vice-royauté de Nouvelle Espagne durant le XVIIIe siècle, selon une perspective de longue durée permettant la compréhension de la dynamique de changements dans les coutumes, liées à la cohabitation et l’utilisation de l’environnement naturel particulier de ce royaume. L’étude des pratiques alimentaires est utilisée, en outre, pour détecter, dans le fait de manger, des distinctions sociales qui ne seraient pas nécessairement liées à la provenance ethnique de la population, mais plutôt aux prix des aliments et aux possibilités de les acquérir. En ce sens, nous distinguons un type particulier de consommation de secteurs privilégiés, par rapport à celui des groupes de travailleurs, des pauvres et des indigènes.
