The Gastronomy on Stamps Study Unit was founded in 2018 and is now in its fifth year of serving topical collectors interested in stamps related to food, gastronomy, food crops, cooking, and related subjects. The Philatelic Gourmet​ July 2022 issue includes the cover story on Hong Kong Snacks, written by Dawn Hamman. Information about the only two spices that come from the same plant–Nutmeg and Mace–is in the Spicy Stamps series. Gastronomy Unit President David Wolfersberger’s selection as the ATA 2022 Distinguished Topical Philatelist is featured. New stamp issue information and gastronomy stamp listing updates complete the issue. Quarterly issues of The Philatelic Gourmet are published in January, April, July and October.
