Excellent piece. I love how you tie together the spiritual, practical and survival aspects of these old foodways. And so many parallels there in our modern times. I really hope you will bring a sour milk school to Ireland someday.

Fascinating! It resonates so much with what I am finding in Romania researching țuică/palincă/horincă/rachiu. I'd love to compare notes sometime. https://emeliekayepeine.substack.com?utm_source=navbar&utm_medium=web&r=1j4vz

Another great read! Constantly impressed by your ability to weave together such captivating narratives. I believe in many areas there is a strong link between the culture/usage of psychoactive substances and the 'traditional' foodways which you seek to explore.
