Before the arrival of the potato in the middle of the 17th Century, the Irish diet reflected the nature of the cattle based economy.
Potatoes were also used as a food for pigs that were fattened-up and slaughtered at the approach of the cold winter months.
The reliance on potatoes as a staple crop meant that the people of Ireland were vulnerable to poor potato harvests, consequently a number of what today might be called 'lesser famines' occurred throughout the 17th and 18th centuries.
