International audience. This article focuses on the food models of Senegal's Fulani populations, more precisely on two groups: one living in the sylvo-pastoral zone of Ferlo (north-eastern Senegal) and the other from Ferlo, but settled in the country's capital, Dakar. The analysis focuses on the differences but also on the common elements in their food habits and on the plurality of influences but also of change processes. Attention was paid to the forms of sociability and the content of meals, and in particular to the presence of elements considered emblematic markers of the Peul culture by the participants themselves. The objective was to identify possible transformations and continuities in culinary and food practices, but also the perceptions of the women themselves regarding the status of certain cultural markers in this context. . Cet article porte sur l’alimentation des populations peules du Sénégal, plus précisément sur deux groupes de femmes : l’un vivant dans la zone sylvo-pastorale du Ferlo (Nord Est du Sénégal) et l’autre issu du Ferlo et installé dans la capitale du pays, Dakar, depuis au moins dix ans. L’analyseporte sur les différences mais aussi les éléments communs dans l’alimentation de ces populations et sur la pluralité des influences mais aussi, des processus de changements. L’attention a été portée sur les formes de sociabilité et les contenus des repas, et notamment sur la présence d’éléments considérés comme des marqueurs emblématiques de la culture peule par les participants eux-mêmes. L’objectif était de repérer d’éventuelles transformations et continuités dans les pratiques culinaires et alimentaires mais aussi les perceptions qu’ont les femmes en particulier sur le statut de certains marqueurs culturels, dans ce contexte.
