    I’ve heard of it. It happened in the 1800’s on another continent. Can you explain what it has to do with eating potatoes?

      It is the link between irish people and potatoes.

      The joke wasn’t about potatoes it was about the link between irish people and potatoes.

        Irish cuisine has a lot of potato dishes. Because they were cultivating potatoes.
