  • Summary

  • A country on its knees, as the dependency to one food source a tragic tale of poverty and oppression. We join the young son of a farmer in 1840’s Ireland, to find out what he was eating before, during and after the Potato Famine.

    Expect to learn:

    • how a typical Irish family was fed up to and during the famine: the state of their nutrition, how it was prepared

    • Life on the farm and the imperatives of ensuring survival

    • A radical carnivorous solution posed to the Irish people with a recipe that takes home grown cooking a little too literally

    • Why landowners kept dividing smallholding into smaller plots, meaning what they could eat on a daily basis was diminished

    • What is likely to have caused the famine and what the devastating effects this had on the population

    • And finally what dietary solutions were proposed to diminish the effect of the famine (meat diet vs vegetarian diet)
