AB - This study examines the situation of food within the discourse of intangible heritage. Food is discussed as a potential and independent category in UNESCO s formal definition of intangible heritage, as contended in applications submitted by countries that currently seek formal heritage designation for their national cuisines, and through issues such as identity and symbolic violence that are attendant to the concept of food as heritage. Although food may rightfully belong in the heritage discourse, its formal designation as heritage requires careful consideration in light of such issues.
