Category: Hungry Gap, Fat Friars, Food Poverty

Welcome to our new three-part food history series Hungry Gap, Fat Friars, Food Poverty, produced by Berni Dwan. In this series we will explore food and drink production and consumption in Ireland and Britain over one thousand years starting at 1000 and ending in 2023 and learn how our ancestors coped during the good times and the bad times. The history of food is the history of your neighbourhood, of your country; it’s the history of the world. So, get yourself a snack, and join our food historians and community participants, on this one-thousand-year journey.
