English
Noun
en-noun
- (during the Irish famine) a Protestant supplying food, (usually soup), to the starving if they rejected their Catholic beliefs.
#Sometimes refered to the person who had changed religions, rather than the person encouraging them.
#:Some Catholics, in a desperate attempt to save the lives of their starving children, accepted this preferential treatment by converting to an alien faith and became known as 'Croghan Soupers' - named after a landed aristocracy in Roscommon. In some cases, soupers were protected by British soldiers from their co-religionists. <P>The Roles & Attitudes of Irish Protestants During the Potato Famine, Seán Stitt.
