“…(2007) consider how the spatial inequalities epitomised by low-budget boarding houses reflect wider socioeconomic inequalities in the Netherlands. Similar accommodation in Moscow for migrant workers at the turn of the 20th century featured in research undertaken by Mazanik (2013). All in all, transient employment appeared to lead inevitably to precarious accommodation, low income and residential segregation from indigenous populations.…”

This paper examines the intersection between food, recollection and Irish migrants’ reconstructions of their housing pathways in the three English cities of Leicester (East Midlands), Sheffield (South Yorkshire) and Manchester (North). Previous studies have acknowledged more implicitly the role of memory in representing the Irish migrant experience in England. Here, we adopt a different stance. We explore the mnemonic power of food to encode, decode and recode Irish men’s reconstructions of their housing pathways in England when constructing and negotiating otherness. In doing so, we apply a ‘Proustian anthropological’ approach in framing the men’s representations of their formative residential experiences in the boarding houses of the three English cities during the 1950s and 1960s are examined. The extent to which food provided in the boarding houses was used as an instrument of discipline and control is examined. The relevance of food related acts of resistance, food insecurity and acts of hedonic meat-centric eating in constructing the men’s sociocultural identity are also explored.
