If, as Wittgenstein has already put it, the meaning of a word is in its use in language, the diversity of meanings acquired by ‘eating out’ is a function of different ways of understanding and living the food as expressed in the speech of the diners. Exploring those meanings of ‘eating out’ is the purpose of this paper. The socio-hermeneutic analysis used allows us to verify how the meaning of ‘eating out’ is not a given, but is concretized in the ways in which the subjects - the diners - endow it with one meaning or another, in the ways in which they alter meaning within a certain socio-cultural context. Eating out acquires its meaning in the context of interaction and negotiation with a multitude of circumstances and contexts, always personal and always unavoidable, because you never eat in abstract situations.References
