“Rhymes with ‘Truck’: The Manitoba Food History Project” has been published in Oral History Review. This article provides an overview of the Manitoba Food History Project, outlining its incorporation of students into the research and publication process and its use of a food truck as a mobile cooking and recording studio. It offers an examination of why other oral historians might—or might not—want their own food history truck.
