We show that children construction of a food heritage is quite different from that of the adult world and it is characterized by the relationships and practices they develop with other peers in highly social contexts around food. We offer the concept of “eater-in-context” as a mechanism for examining how such process takes place. To do that, we begin by unpacking three dimensions of ‘food heritage’, namely place, agents, and time involved in it, and propose to view those dimensions within school foodscapes (Mikkelsen, 2011; Johansson et al, 2009) to relate the material and immaterial aspects of children food heritage. Through two vignettes we ground our conceptual proposal, and discuss comparatively the theoretical and practical issues emerging out of such grounding and the relevance to the increasing concern with children eating practices in and out of schools.
