Abstract
This article examines colonial Italian menus used in interwar Ethiopia and Eritrea to understand how pr ivate companies sup- ported Fascism’s imperial projects. Feasts celebrated battlefield victories, steamship journeys, and settlement soirees. Menus pro- duced by shipping companies (Rex, Lloyd Triestino) and banks (Banca di Roma) for use by Italian colonists on Ethiopian settlements speaks to the economics of the regime , demonstrating how corporations used food to uphold and extend Fascist narratives of racial superiority. Herein lies a core contention of this article: the engine of fascist power lay in its financial supporters – that is, in industry.
本文考察了埃塞俄比亚和厄立特里亚战争期间使用的意大利殖民菜单，以了解私营公司如何支持法西斯主义的帝国项目。宴会庆祝战场上的胜利、轮船之旅和定居晚会。航运公司（Rex，Lloyd Triestino）和银行（Banca di Roma）为意大利殖民者在埃塞俄比亚定居点使用而制作的菜单反映了该政权的经济状况，展示了企业如何利用食物来维护和扩展法西斯的种族优越论。这篇文章的核心论点是：法西斯力量的引擎在于其金融支持者，也就是工业。
