“What's a meal or food that has become part of your family story?”

Why this question

A recipe, a favourite restaurant, a dish that means something. The memory attached to it.

Capturing it in voice

• ·Thirty seconds is plenty. A short answer you actually record beats a long one you keep meaning to.
• ·Say the date and their age out loud at the start. In ten years that one detail will do half the work.
• ·If a sibling wanders in mid-recording, keep going. The interruption is the memory.
