Eamonn O Cathain's book, Around Ireland with a Pan: Food, Tales and Recipes is a somewhat humorous and honest examination of (or lack of!) the culinary tradition in Ireland. The book looks at how food is produced, prepared, sold and eaten in Ireland, north and south and makes the outrageous statement, 'When I was a wee boy, the only thing that seemed to come from Tyrone was a sausage - from Cookstown'
Another interesting read that I came across recently was Back Through the Fields: Memories of a Rural Life by Maurice McAleese (2005).

Floating cultivation
I was involved in an interesting conversation on floating cultivation with some colleagues who run an excellent blog on issues related to Agricultural Biodiversity. The conversation slowly evolved homewards as we shared experiences from the Pacific, Asia and Latin America before ending up in Amiens, France. I was wondering if we might get even closer to home. Is anyone aware of similar cultivation practices in Ireland or the UK?
