难民研究、寄养和食物人类学方面的现有文献很少涉及难民和寻求庇护的儿童如何看待食物。本文报道了两项举措，描述了寻求庇护的儿童及其照顾者对食物的理解方式。第一项是一项调查研究，调查寻求无人陪伴的庇护儿童对《联合国儿童权利公约》的看法，其中他们关注的是到达英国后的食物和生存问题。第二个基于对寄养照顾者的访谈，是关于食物及其在寄养中的意义的以实践为导向的调查。研究结果表明，食物与寻找庇护所、在寄养家庭中协商归属感的许多方面有关，并且可以强烈地唤起在新土地上的“家”感觉。
There is little in the existing literature in refugee studies, foster care and the anthropology of food about the ways refugee and asylum seeking children regard food. This piece reports on two initiatives that delineate ways children seeking asylum and their carers understand food. The first is a research study examining unaccompanied asylum seeking children's perception of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, within which they focus on food and survival after arrival in the UK. The second, based on interviews with foster carers, is a practice orientated enquiry about food and its meaning in foster care. The findings suggest that food is related to many aspects of finding sanctuary, negotiating belonging within the foster family, and can powerfully evoke being at ‘home’ in a new land.
