This continuing to propagate this stereotype is offensive to Irish people, such as myself. Why was this allowed to get posted here, Dang?

I'm Irish.. what is offensive about it? Potatoes are a big part of our culinary history

[stanford_labrat]

I’m Irish as well…my family’s food joke is that nothing grows in Ireland except: milk, fish, and potatoes (and meat, if you’re lucky!)

[eropple]

My family's includes rocks. Lots of rocks grow there.

I'm not Irish, but Irish friends tell me that tons of air grows there too. In fact, that may be while it is called Eire.

[raffraffraff]

I don't get it either, and I'm also Irish (born here, lives here all my life)

I'm Irish. I didn't know this stuff. I found it interesting. Calm down kid.

I think you’ll be hard pressed to find an Irish person who’d be offended at this… I thought it was a great read (as an Irish person).

An historical fact is just a fact. There is not point in being outraged by the truth that Irish (as many other places) eat lots of some particular food.
