Feasts were an important part of ancient Celtic culture which marked important dates in the calendar and community successes. They were, too, an opportunity to display social status and, of course, eat and drink aplenty. Drunkenness and brawling were not an uncommon feature of these events, and sometimes there were even fights to the death over matters of honour such as who should have the right to eat the best cut of meat. Feasts feature prominently in tales from Celtic mythology and even give their name to several celebrated works in the Irish-Celtic cycle of myths.
