“…Many of these traditions are evident in the Schools' Folklore collection or in the poetry or Seamus Heaney as discussed in other papers in the special edition of Folk Life. 21 Such food production, including the wide use of offal, was evident in cookbooks up to the 1980s. Cashman, 22 citing authors Marnell et al, Laverty and Allen noted that it was not uncommon to see all parts of an animal utilized in recipes in cookbooks prior to the 1980s.…”

A study by the Irish Food Board, Bord Bia, in 2008 outlined some lost and forgotten food traditions in Ireland based on the evidence from a pre-selected expert group. This paper explores the inclusion of traditional Irish foods within seventy-nine Irish cookbooks, published between 1980 to 2015. Extant academic and grey literature on food traditions and cookbooks, together with the content of the cookbooks, identified a gradual decline in the presence of certain traditional Irish foods, to the point where they could be deemed lost or forgotten. The study, however, also finds a re-emergence in the most recent period. A notable omission in both the corpus of cookbooks, highlighting their aspirational function, and the Bord Bia report, was bacon and cabbage, a traditional dish closely associated with Ireland. This paper outlines the importance of documenting food traditions in order to pass on this knowledge to future generations. KEYWORDSIreland; cuisines; culinary traditions; heritage; cookbooks as sources Nordic Food Movement. However, this was not always the case. During the 1980s and 1990s 'fusion' and 'ethnic' foods were extremely popular, along with the dominant presence of French haute cuisine internationally. 2 In Ireland, the threat to 'lost and forgotten foods' and 'traditional foods' were clearly credible enough in 2008 for Bord Bia 3 to carry out the in-depth study that included two hundred expert participants. The Bord Bia study group included representatives/experts from Teagasc (the Agriculture and Food Development Authority), The Irish Seed Savers Association, The Rare Breeds Survival Trust, The Irish Countrywomen's Association, and Slow Food Ireland. The purpose of the investigation 'was to build an authentic general picture of food production techniques in the era before the forces of modernisation would change Irish society fundamentally.' 4 Lost and forgotten traditional foods and skills are distinguished and characterized as being food of Irish cultural identity, that have become neglected, are in decline or are extinct.Lost and forgotten Irish food traditions were categorized as outlined in Figure 1, and examples of products considered unique were documented within each section.

“…Kabilang din sa kasaysayan ng pamahiin ang paniniwala sa milagro, mahika, at salamangkang malalim na nakaugat sa kultura ng isang komunidad. Ang mga ito, lalo na ang mga pamahiin ay nagtulak sa pagbuo ng maraming gawi at kaugalian, gaya ng mga pinaniniwalaan at isinasagawang tradisyon sa pagkain ng mga tao sa Ireland (Philibín & Mac Con Iomaire, 2021). Makikitang nakapaloob din ang mga pamahiin sa panitikan ng mga sinaunang kabihashan, tulad ng alamat at mito (Cruz-Lucero, 2013).…”

There may be a lot of differences in the beliefs of Filipinos, but superstitions play a big role in their everyday lives. However, in the modern and present day, due to the influence of the continuous innovations and development of science and technology, this influence is on the brink of extinction, especially for the younger generation. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the superstitions that are known and presently being practiced by students, the reasons, and factors why they still believe in superstitions, and its implications in their personal lives, society, and culture. The qualitative approach, specifically the narrative research design was used to analyze the gathered data. Results show that many students still believe and practice superstitions despite being in a science high school. Furthermore, the superstitions that students believe the most are the superstitions on death, birthdays, and weddings. Meanwhile, they don't strongly believe in superstitions about agriculture. The main factors that affect beliefs are one's family, especially grandparents, parents, and other relatives.It was also known that social media is also a factor that affects one's belief and it contradicts with other studies, where science and technology don't pose a threat on the belief in superstitions. Other than that, it was derived from the data that superstitions have positive and negative implications on one's personal life, the community, and the Filipino culture. Thus, superstitions continue to prevail in modern society, regardless of concrete evidence to prove its claims. These beliefs are considered as legacy from ancestors as well as they will continuously shape citizens.

“…39 Dinner was usually followed by plum pudding, or by those who preferred to keep the plum pudding for supper, by tea and cake, while others opted for the more traditional rice pudding. 40 The number of times people ate and the times at which they ate, were constantly highlighted throughout the transcripts. The usual mealtimes were not adhered to during the Christmas period as the people preferred to eat by candlelight and so feasting usually took place after 5pm, or 'nightfall'.…”
