Food and dwelling are interlinked in many ways. Eating constitutes a major component of our daily activities, and as such, much of our social lives and public infrastructures are organized around it. Public spaces are designed to facilitate the consumption of food; large industries are specialized on the sale of food items, and food comprises a great amount of many people’s social interactions. Dwelling—our everyday activities of making a home in the world—thereby is heavily invested with food practices. Dwelling offers an essential concept in the study of food, as it provides insights into how our quotidian activities transform environments and foodscapes. Being an important source of livelihood for many migrants, food plays a central role in their daily activities of making a home. It serves as an economic means of survival, and as a contact zone. Food can offer a point of exchange, give people a sense of belonging, and build community. By making food “from the homeland,” migrants are able to claim public spaces as a dimension of their home, filled with familiar smells and tastes.
