Feasts are widely recognised as cultural events commemorating significant social occasions through communal meals. However, in food-insecure settings such as Maseru Central, Lesotho, feasts also function as strategic responses to hunger. Using participant observation and in-depth interviews with eight attendees of communal feasts in Ha Thetsane, Ha Matala and Ha Thamae, this chapter examined the role of feasts in addressing urban food insecurity. Five key themes emerged from the data: nutritional relief and food access; social networks and information-sharing; social hierarchy and inclusivity; perceived health and emotional benefits; and the economic and symbolic value. The chapter shows that feasts were once a public good and secret used to enhance food security and provide variety, quantity and quality absent from household-level diets. Feasts were also found to be a social contract and a social exchange. Reciprocal relations between hosts and guests created an implicit moral agreement that guests would cooperate and sacrifice their time, and hosts would reward them with food for participating. Attending feasts, thus, fulfils classical human cravings for food and social contact.
