    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.

          Because the british bought all out their food sources, subjecting them to a famine where they had to grow potatoes to survive.
