After almost 25 years at the Cork Butter Museum Peter Foynes retired this weekend. He was an intrinsic part of the museum-his work there elevated its reputation & popularised our understanding of Ireland’s butter heritage. Peter was the soul & spirit of the museum & he will be missed.

For anyone interested in Irish food culture now + in the recent past, health, wellbeing + how we might design approaches to consumption + dietary behaviours, this event is not to be missed

Food on Saint Patrick’s Day, a liturgical feast day and the national holiday, is a multilayered topic. Some further detail here in a little piece I wrote for RTÉ Brainstorm @rtebrainstorm.bsky.social

I’m over on @newstalkfm.bsky.social later this morning, c. 10.50 talking about the topic of food and its interesting profile on Saint Patrick’s Day.

Very happy to have contributed this piece to @theconversation.com It takes a speculative look at what the saint may have eaten based on evidence from early + later medieval sources. And no it's not corned beef and cabbage but as it's food, it's always complicated
