My two supervisors, Elizabeth Butler Cullingford and Barbara Harlow, introduced me to much of the literature and many of the ideas that make up this project. Their direction throughout the process was invaluable: they have been, and continue to be, inspirational teachers, scholars and individuals. Kamran Ali brought both academic rigor and a sense of humor to the defense as he pushed the manuscript beyond its boundaries. Ann Cvetkovich translated her fresh perspective into comments on new directions for the project and Ian Hancock was constantly generous with his resources and unique knowledge of the Irish Traveller community. Thanks too to my graduate school colleagues, who provided constructive feedback and moral support at every step, and who introduced me to academic areas outside of my own, especially Miriam Murtuza, Miriam Schacht, Veronica House, George Waddington, Neelum Wadhwani, Lynn Makau, Jeanette Herman, Ellen Crowell and Lee Rumbarger.

  • 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.

  • Food As 'Motif' in the Irish Song Tradition
    Food as ‘Motif’ in the Irish Song Tradition Máirtín Mac Con Iomaire, Dublin Institute of Technology The beef and the beer of the Saxon may build up good, strong hefty men; The Scot goes for haggis and porridge and likes a ‘wee drap’ now and then; The German may spice up a sausage that’s fit for great Kaisers and Queens, But the Irishman’s dish is my darling – a flitch of boiled bacon and greens. They laughed at the pig in the kitchen when Ireland lay groaning in chains, But the pig paid the rent, so no wonder our ‘smack’ for his breed still remains, And what has a taste so delicious as ‘griskins’ and juicy ‘crubeens’, And what gives health, strength and beauty like bacon, potatoes and greens? Background The above song ‘Bacon and Greens’ was written by Con O’Brien and first appeared in print in September 1930 in the Cork Weekly Examiner. This Irish love affair with pig meat was still evident in Pat Short’s chart topping 2006 song ‘The Jumbo Breakfast Roll’ which describes the Celtic Tiger phenomenon of wrapping the components of the cooked Irish breakfast in a half baguette for consumption by cash-rich, time-poor citizens. These same ingredients (bacon, sausages, black pudding etc.) form part of the popular all-day Irish meal known as a ‘mixed grill’ described so evocatively in the writings John McGahern (Maher 2014). Considering the primacy of food in people’s lives generally throughout history, it is logical that food be reflected in their songs and poetry.

The paper will discuss the pig in Irish literature and mythology; outline the role the emergence of the potato had on domestic pig keeping, and trace the rise of commercial processing in the nineteenth century to the present day.

And how did the town of Clonakilty become synonymous with black pudding? One of the earliest literary references to puddings is to be found in Homer’s Odyssey, the Greek classic dating from the 8th century BC. The hero, Odysseus, fights over a stomach stuffed with pig blood and fat. Book II of the 1st Century AD Roman cookbook Apicius, features meat puddings, blood sausages, and a ‘botellum’ which is generally translated as black pudding and is made from blood, mixed with onions and leeks, thickened with cooked egg yolks, stuffed into casings and cooked in broth and wine.
