AnnotationUsing an innovative analysis, this article concocts an imagined 'dialogue' between hospice staff and minority ethnic service users. It mixes together narrative extracts about food from separate qualitative interviews, enabling staff and service users to 'talk' to each other against a context of the multicultural provision of food within an English hospice. Analysis of the dialogue explores the connections, exchange and contradictions between speakers. This analysis also theorizes the implications of the dialogue for the implementation and effectiveness of multicultural policies, procedures and practices, while also examining power relations at times of ill-health.
