THE BEGINNING

Ireland is extremely rich in its traditions and one of the finest is Clonakilty Blackpudding. In the small farmhouses of rural Ireland the modest income of the household was subsidised by the making of blackpudding. It was sold to the butchers of the nearby market towns along with eggs, butter and other farm produce.

One such farmhouse was that of Johanna O'Brien at Sam's Cross near Clonakilty. Her blackpudding was sold to Philip Harrington, whose butcher’s shop was at 16, Sovereign Street (now Pearse Street) in Clonakilty. When Johanna eventually retired from the onerous task of making the very popular blackpudding, she passed her precious recipe onto Mr. Harrington. On the occasion of that momentous event, Johanna had her photograph taken while holding the recipe in her hand.
