I watched and liked both of these films. Funny how I came to both by way of music. Since you did not recommend listening, may I? Morricone's soundtrack for The Battle of Algiers (which you mentioned in passing) and The Wind That Shakes the Barley by Dead Can Dance ( whose Lisa Gerard is sublime). As far as snacks go, I've gone cold turkey. No more orange slurry for me.

It's funny how that works - the Morricone track is very restrained considering his much more strident music in the Leone Westerns.
Meanwhile the music is probably the least regarded part of the Wind/Barley movie, but as you stated, really deserves more attention.
Finally, good on yer for giving up the slurry. I find that gazpacho is the perfect summer snack. Liquid and refreshing, just fantastic.
