Irish Thought for May 11...

Irish Toasts

An old Irish recipe for longevity:
Leave the table hungry.
Leave the bed sleepy.
Leave the table thirsty.

This recipe made me sad.  I was struck with the following thought:  Was this recipe something a person randomly concocted or was this recipe born from the hardships that so many in Ireland faced?  In other words, was this a way to turn hardship into something positive?
