Seaking of wills, funerals & feasts (hat tip to @drlindseyfitz.bsky.social post about funeral tickets) women in Ireland didn't just leave money/malt for their funeral ales, they also willed their brewing equipment to their children, often daughters. Brewing pans like #31beerherstories #skystorians

Excerpts from Christine Walsh’s (@boggerchef on Insta) brilliant piece on sexism in kitchens in @the-independent.com (UK) 👌🏻👌🏻✨✨✨ #womeninfood #chefs

In today’s @irishexaminer.bsky.social chef and food writer Aishling Moore’s Ultimate Fish Finger sandwich 😍

Not just a German technique of course, as mulling beer with a hot poker was a relatively common thing to do in Ireland, and these islands in general, in the past ...

Medieval Europeans drank water. Frequently. As part of a normal diet. They also drank ale. For a variety of reasons including that it was simply enjoyable.

We are taking a break for two weeks. See you later in January folks! #IrishFood #FoodWriting
