Sharing or not-sharing one’s lunch and snacks at school among peers? We decided to explore this existential issue for children in the form of a story divided into three episodes around a central character called “Little Cake”. Little Cake comes from a reception centre for asylum seekers, like some of the children in the story whose concerns and questions it shares. The initial “non-human perspective” featuring a “more-than-human” Little Cake as the main character allows us to demonstrate what sharing/not-sharing among children is, without specifically focusing on asylum seekers’ children at school. In order to achieve this, we use an anthropological lens. Little Cake’s encounters with the other foods in the lunch boxes are a metaphor for the encounters of “the children from the centre” with their new peers. Moreover, if the main characters are the children who develop complex social relationships outside of adult prescriptions by deciding whether or not to share their food, the food they eat plays a central role. Placing foodstuffs at the centre allows for a better understanding of the social and cultural dimensions of school meals and snacks in French-speaking Belgium when children’s food encounters take place. The narrative of the experiences, discoveries, feelings, and social interactions of Little Cake and it’s friends shows that food journey of asylum seekers’ children at school is not an easy task. This is however a way for children to position themselves at the intersection of the rules established by adults and carried out by the children on the one hand, and the spaces of expression of a kind of agency, on the other. The asylum-seekers’ children thus navigate by contributing to the construction of a children's foodscape with their new classmates.
