Irish Food/History Food Is an Important Cultural Subject in Our Travels
Irish Food/History Food is an important cultural subject in our travels. Eating local has been our goal and an attempt to enjoy a region's culture through its food and understanding food origin and tradition. Ireland has been no exception. In our food section we have a scone making video. This photo program will share some of the dishes that we were able to enjoy in our travels through various parts of Ireland. Our goal is to someday be able to visit all of Ireland. Ireland regarding food according to dochara.com states: "there are three major periods in Irish history, before the potato arrived, after the potato arrived and after the potato failed." Why the potato? There were thousands of years prior to the spud or potato, but its arrival during the 17th century had a profound effect on Ireland as it became a major source of food sustenance. The Potato Famine of the mid‐19th century was: "This dark and tragic event changed the country irrevocably, killing over a million people and leading many millions more to leave Ireland forever." <dochara.com> A misnomer about Ireland is that Irish food is mostly potatoes and mutton. Historians tell us differently. The first Irish settlers arrived in 8000 BC. Early settlers were hunter‐gatherers, but Ireland had much to give and provide in terms of food. For the most part, Ireland was covered with trees. Its rivers, streams and the surrounding seas provided ocean and fresh‐water fish, mussels and oysters. Wild garlic and watercress were abundant as were fowl and fauna.

Jane Ellison
CASS COUNTY, MICHIGAN PROFILES PRESERVING LOCAL HISTORY WITH PEOPLE, EVENTS & PLACES By Jeannie Watson JANE ELLISON Jane Ellison migrated, in 1859, to Cass County, Michigan with her husband, Hugh S. Garrett, and her parents. She had the frightening experience of surviving the Irish Potato Famine. Her comparisons of what life had been like before coming to America, during the process, and after settling in Michigan, is a sequence of great contrasts. Her life story and Irish woman's point of view provides a rare perception of harsh realities and serious events. The Irish Community of the 1800s is very much a part of Southwestern Michigan's history, and their plight should never be forgotten. They were some of the most desperate of souls, who needed Michigan's opportunities and "sheltering bounty." Jane's life story is a tale of bravery, courage and survival, where only the strongest and most intelligent survived. Ireland was the poorest country in the Western World in the 1800s, and the way that came about is disheartening. Before they were invaded by the British, Ireland consisted of large clans, which were made up of smaller sub-clans, composed of extended family and friends, who allied together for protection. The country's land had few trees in most regions, was rocky, or had rich dark grassland soil and peat moss bogs (swamps). The farm land was anything but worthless, however. It was wonderful for growing food crops, and did so for eons, so its economy was based on agriculture. The clans were constantly at war over that property, and these battles went on for generations.

Irish Folklore
English 577.03: Irish Folklore 09106-7, Fall 2008 Professor: Ray Cashman Email: [email protected] Phone: 247-8257 Office: Denny 509 Class Time: TR 1:30-3:18 Class Location: Denny 238 Course Description: This course introduces the popular beliefs, vernacular customs, material culture, and especially, oral traditions of Ireland. Although much Irish folklore has roots in the far distant past, we will focus on those traditions documented from the late 18th through 21st centuries—a period during which folklore inspired an Irish literary revival and served the nation-building project of a newly independent republic. We will conclude with an investigation of the politics of culture, identity, and heritage in contemporary Northern Ireland where the legacy of British colonialism remains most pronounced.

Traditional Irish Sources for “The Song of Wandering Aengus”
“The Song of Wandering Aengus” by W. B. Yeats: A Common Core Exemplar Traditional Irish Sources for “The Song of Wandering Aengus” Part 1. Allusions to Celtic Mythology In discussing the composition of “The Song of Wandering Aengus,” William Butler Yeats noted, “It was suggested to me by a Greek folksong; but the folk belief of Greece is very like that of Ireland, and I certainly thought, when I wrote it, of Ireland, and of the spirits that are in Ireland.” One of Yeats’s long standing passions was to revive traditional Irish culture, and one way he acted upon it was by integrating Celtic mythology and Irish folk lore into his written work. Yeats included several archetypal images in “The Song of Wandering Aengus” that have special significance in the Irish folk tradition: the fisherman, the silver trout, the hazel bough, and the apple. The fisherman archetype surfaces in various forms in this part of the world, especially in stories related to “selkies” with their scenes of fantastic shape shifting between seal and human form. The silver trout reflects the symbolic association fish carry in the Irish tradition with connotations related to health and fertility as well as knowledge, inspiration, and prophecy. The hazel is a sacred tree connected with immortal wisdom in Irish tree-lore. Stories in the Celtic tradition often place hazel trees at the border between worlds where magical things happen. Hazel is considered a container of ancient knowledge and, when ingested, hazel nuts were thought to heighten awareness and induce visions that led to epiphanies.

Appendixes Appendix A
APPENDIXES APPENDIX A Yeats's Notes in The Collected Poems, 1933 The Spelling of Gaelic Names In this edition of my poems I have adopted Lady Gregory's spelling of Gaelic names, with, I think, two exceptions. The 'd' of 'Edain' ran too well in my verse for me to adopt her perhaps more correct 'Etain,' and for some reason unknown to me I have always preferred 'Aengus' to her 'Angus.' In her Gods and Fighting Men and Cuchulain of Muirthemne she went as close to the Gaelic spelling as she could without making the names unpro nounceable to the average reader.'-1933. Crossways. The Rose (pages 3, 25) Many of the poems in Crossways, certainly those upon Indian subjects or upon shepherds and fauns, must have been written before I was twenty, for from the moment when I began The Wanderings of Oisin, which I did at that age, I believe, my subject-matter became Irish. Every time I have reprinted them I have considered the leaving out of most, and then remem bered an old school friend who has some of them by heart, for no better reason, as I think, than that they remind him of his own youth.' The little Indian dramatic scene was meant to be the first scene of a play about a man loved by two women, who had the one soul between them, the one woman waking when the other slept, and knowing but daylight as the other only night. It came into my head when I saw a man at Rosses Point carrying two salmon.
