The book explores the transformative impact of the Famine and subsequent independence on Irish food consumption and production. It employs an interdisciplinary approach, integrating medical history, cultural studies, and food studies to analyze how food shaped Irish society amid political upheaval, including the Land Wars and the First World War. By examining various sources, it highlights food's central role in post-Famine culture and the ongoing anxieties surrounding it, ultimately linking improvements in food practices to the broader national condition.
