Connected Food
Abstract
In an increasingly mobile world, people continuously travel to and from their “homelands,” carrying their food, cultures, and dreams with them. This article revolves around the homemade foods brought back by Turkish-speaking communities in Germany during their regular visits to Bulgaria and Turkey. By sharing their stories, it offers ethnographic insights into the role of these portable foods in maintaining cultural and microbial connections amidst circular migrations.
