irish potatoes and point
(1 rating)
Everyone got a potatoe to eat, but only the ones who worked for pay were given a small piece of meat or fish. When the children would ask the mother, "What is for supper?" The mother would reply, "Potatoes and Point!" The children and non workers were allowed to point their forks at the meat or fish on the workers plates.... I post this recipe in honor of all of those who lived in Ireland during the great Famine.
