Abstract
All human beings share a common practice, we consume food. However, this practice differs from place to place, not only in the way we eat, but how we eat, when we eat, and with whom we eat. Such differences translate into what identifies the cultural identity of a collectivity. As a result of the war in Syria, many people fled their country, and during their diaspora, they have carried their food customs with them. In the places where they have settled, they have not only managed to adapt their food practices in a context different from their own but have also undertaken projects to make their traditional food known to the local community. This session will focus on how the food practices of the Syrian refugees evoke nostalgia for their past while reinforcing their sense of belonging to a country they no longer inhabit. Specifically, we will discuss the transformations of food practices that the Syrian community has undergone or not since its arrival in Lisbon, both in relation to their dishes, food products, kitchen objects, sensory experiences, and the customs surrounding food within their families and with their friends. It will also review the challenges refugees have faced in the projects they have undertaken on Syrian food, and how their food practices have been assumed by the local
