Broth and bread was popular in those times.
Yes, that may be true.... Although, the majority of the Irish people had no money, no homes and barely scraps on their back's... so many of the Irish wandering the roads and bogs would eat grasses, nettles or anything they could get their hands on to stave off the pains of starvation for even just one more day. Very many of the corpses found in roadside ditches, the roads or surrounding countryside's mouths were stained green from consuming field grasses. And the meals received while in the workhouses were also far from adequate.
Now, the landlords, government officials and protestant upper classes/gentry ate well...all Irish peasant produced beef, bacon, grains, breads, eggs, butter, lamb, turnips and other vegetables with a number of Irish produced grain alcohols to wash it all down with....they ate very well whilst the general populace starved to death. They watched all they produced go right out of their hands by armed military guard to pay their exorbitant rents, to either be shipped to England for further sale by export or sale for consumption within England, or for consumption by the gentry on Irish soil.
