Abstract: I suggest here that personal memory can be a key to understanding how individuals and groups construct their own notions of which foodways products and practices are heritage and what that means. It also can mediate between heritage and tradition, following Dan Ben-Amos’s assertion that the two are incompatible since heritage is static and canonical while tradition is dynamic and fluid. |
