Abstract

This special issue, Sticky Memories: The Emotional Landscape of Food, explores the profound impact of culinary experiences on our emotional and cultural landscapes. It examines how food, beyond its material form, becomes a powerful symbol in our personal and communal narratives. The issue engages with Sara Ahmed’s (2004) concept of‘stickiness’ in food memories, where culinary experiences not only linger but also shape identity, resist replication, and reflect complex sociopolitical realities. The narratives demonstrate food’s role in memory-making, highlighting the intricate intersections of taste, emotion and cultural heritage.
