Based on cognitive appraisal theory, a theoretical model of the antecedents and consequences perceived food authenticity is proposed. Specifically, relationships between food-related neophobia neophilia, emotions, authenticity, existential are evaluated in determining perceptions. We theorize as four-dimensional construct (local food, traditional unfamiliar rare food).
