Those who converted for food were known as "soupers" or "jumpers". In reality, souperism was a rare phenomenon, but it had a lasting effect on the popular memory of the Famine. It also blemished the memory of relief work by many Protestants who gave aid without proselytizing (attempt to convert).
 

soupers ?

Been listening to stuff about the Irish struggle against colonialism. 
 

Protestants really were brutal bastards.
