You might also try some Canadian groups, if you haven't already. I recommend
the Culinary Historians of Ontario. They are a great source of information.

Subject: Irish food culture
Dear fellow list members,
I'm doing research on Canadian food culture and am interested to know who
might be doing
similar or related work in Ireland. I'm currently exploring the
relationship between food incentives
such as cookbooks, advice columns, government pamphlets and advertisements,
etc., and the
actual adoption and appropriation of these in the home since the second half
of the twentieth
century. I'm also curious about the implementation of new foods in the
Postwar era, and on how
domestic design and architecture adapted and influenced eating practices in
the family. It would
be fascinating to know if anyone is studying these or similar aspects of
Irish culture, especially
given what seems to me to be a significant food renaissance in Ireland over
the past decade or so.
I'd also appreciate hearing about any archival material that seems
potentially rich in this area.
Many thanks,
Rhona Richman Kenneally
