Contains January-June of 1854. WIlde's essay leads off the February issue and is pages 127-146. "When kitchened with "point" i.e. seasoned mollified with milk or softened by a drop of the crature' the like of the potato will never again be found for ‘rent-paying pig-feeding love-making child-breeding faction-fighting and country-dancing properties". WIlde father of Oscar was a polymath - a doctor census taker folklorist and social commentator. He represents as does this essay a conundrum. He sympathized with the Irish peasantry could see many of their troubles with clarity collected huge amounts of medical data on their suffering yet supported the insupportable English response to the famine. Even this essay filled with admiring prose for the people and culture essentially blames the starving masses for their problems - a lack of imagination culinary ingenuity stupid reliance on the bounty of the potato etc etc. Though while suggesting that the Irish have little imagination or knowledge gastronomically he does mention an impressive number of ways that potato is served. He even comes to the to call it paternalistic is to do an injustice to the concept of paternalism conclusion that " ‘Irish agriculture has been greatly benefited by the famine." An essay filled with interesting dietary anecdotes fine prose insane conclusions erudite observations and condescending digressions. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
