Little is known firsthand about men's experiences of eating, because most empirical accounts on the meanings of food and eating come from studies of women. The qualitative research reported here explores how Norwegian men relate to food consumption. The findings consider how gender and occupational status explain men's relationship to food. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2001–2003, in Oslo, with 20 carpenters, 15 engineers, and 11 drivers. Eating was often portrayed as an untroubled routine and only occasionally was food conceived as problematic for health. Food was part of pleasure on weekends, but most men distanced themselves from a “gourmet” discourse. This study suggests that underlying structural factors of gender and class expectations effect how men talk about eating
