Abstract Food is more than nutrition; it has veritable socio-cultural meanings and it encapsulates all manner of associations which includes the memory aspect of food with regards to cultural affiliations. This paper appraises several experiences of migrants that are relevant, using different approaches, creating a link between food, cultural background and memory of migrants as well as looking at the sequential movement of food and its interactions as they affect migrants and their immediate environment, by reviewing extant kinds of literature in the global and African contexts. Migration and migrants are evident across the borders of countries around the universe. It was revealed that migrants are encumbered with different experiences-accepting and repelling alongside with memory effect in the course of migration, as it is glaring that there is a conglomerate between food, memory, and identity. Memory, therefore, has a cultural implication on migrants as it forms one of the bases of food consumption. Keywords: Food, Memory, Identity and Migrants Introduction Many migrants covering almost all continents have moved along with their food irrespective of the distance of their migration, trying to retain their identity about food. This food migration has also created a psychological effect on the migrants thereby reminding them of the past and creating a memory of home, making them homesick.
