From what I can recall, the potato was making a big impression in Ireland as the seventeenth century unfolded. It came to the greater population by being inadvertently washed to shore with other salvage from the ill-fated Spanish armada of 1588 and utilized accordingly. It was a staple food for the Spanish navy, who themselves had brought it to Spain from their new territories in South America. Potatoes were a welcome change from the more unsavory 'pottage' which had been the only choice of meal for the poor before this time. A diet of meat would have been the privilege of the wealthy

although many people risked their necks in poaching activities. If you happened to live on the coast there were opportunities to fish for your supper.
