“…What their ill relative had managed to eat was something families often wanted to know; eating was viewed positively and welcomed with a sense of relief (Wallin et al . , ). Some family members also tried to tempt patients to eat, reflecting what Seale (: 164) describes as ‘temptations to life’.…”

This article draws on data from a research project that combined participant observation with in-depth interviews to explore family relationships and experiences of everyday life during life-threatening illness. In it I suggest that death has often been theorised in ways that make its 'mundane' practices less discernible. As a means to foreground the everyday, and to demonstrate its importance to the study of dying, this article explores the (re)negotiation of food and eating in families facing the end of life. Three themes that emerged from the study's broader focus on family life are discussed: 'food talk' and making sense of illness; food, family and identity; and food 'fights'. Together the findings illustrate the material, social and symbolic ways in which food acts relationally in the context of dying, extending conceptual work on materiality in death studies in novel directions. The article also contributes new empirical insights to a limited sociological literature on food, families and terminal illness, building on work that theorises the entanglements of materiality, food, bodies and care. The article concludes by highlighting the analytical value of everyday materialities such as food practices for future research on dying as a relational experience.

Eating and drinking are important parts of our daily lives (Louge, 2014), where food and nutrients both can contribute to developing disease (Grosso et al., 2017;Kivimäki et al., 2017), as well as promoting or regaining health (Fleming et al., 2019). Food and nutrients have a fundamental role in physiological well-being, however, are also affected by illness and cancer (Arends et al., 2017;Tan & Fearon, 2008). With the worldwide trajectory of ageing populations, many with chronic life-limiting disease live longer (Cristea et al., 2020), resulting in an increased need for supportive healthcare interventions around food and meals. | BACKG ROU N DFood and eating have multiple meanings in people's lives and is conferred with symbolic value (Louge, 2014), since healthy eating habits are symbols of healthy living (McCarthy et al., 2017).
