- Book Synopsis
- An Irish Food Story looks at history, culture and identity in Ireland through 100 foods. From farmhouse cheese to Findus Crispy Pancakes and everything in between, Jp McMahon shows that we truly are what we eat. It's a story about what we had and what we wanted, about what we got and what we ate, starting with the first settlers who arrived on the island 10,000 years ago to the people who call Ireland home today. The Irish food story is also about what we didn't eat. It's about how we sometimes ignored the very foods that are right in front of us. It's about how we still struggle to assert our native food culture and food identity due to a history of colonialism, famine and self-doubt. The high and the low, the good and the bad, feast and famine all have a place in the Irish food story. Jp McMahon invites us to explore it and celebrate it together.
