Soup Kitchens

In 18 forty five, three to four million people lived on a diet of potatoes. Alexis sawyera was like the jamie oliver of his day. He'd written all these cook books and this kind of thing. So he comes over to ireland where he can feed a thousand people an hour. The soup kitchens were effective for six months until they shot them down in september 18 forty seven. And why we is ton they shut down? Because there's just not enough money in those areas any more.
