上茄苳庄位在臺南東北端,擁有多達十餘位以包辦筵席為業的辦桌師傅,因而具有「廚子庄(too-tsi tsng)」之稱。本論以「上茄苳的辦桌文化」作為主題,搜索文獻資料,由民俗學的觀點展開田野參與觀察及參與訪談,經分析和比較歸納,闡述上茄苳辦桌產業的發展與演變、辦桌師傅的傳承及上茄苳辦桌文化的現況。 上茄苳辦桌業的濫觴,可追溯到百年前一位名為殷玉鑒的辦桌師傅,日後,此業便由其子孫、親屬代代相傳、開枝散葉,造就出今日傳承於上茄苳的辦桌產業。辦桌師傅的師承關係及工作內容,與當地社會、當地信仰之間有所連結,上茄苳因缺乏餐館而習於辦桌聚餐,人情因素成為聘用辦桌師傅的依據,辦桌師傅因縱貫公路的便捷而時常與外地交流,而女性在辦桌的傳承中則不被重視。今日辦桌的桌次因不同名目而各有增減,原本的廟會、嫁娶相關者減少,但初二、聚餐相關的桌次則逐年增加。今日辦桌師傅少有傳承下一代,對於下一代的習藝採開放的心態,不限於父傳子,鑒師的影響力也逐漸減低,辦桌師傅各自發展出新的優勢。 本研究最終呈現上茄苳的辦桌文化的發展脈絡與其獨特習俗,深入辦桌師傅和上茄苳人的日常生活、信仰慣習間的互動,探究上茄苳獨有的飲食文化。
