    I guess you never heard of the potato famine then, which was a type of genocide visited upon the Irish by the British. Hence the 'sudden’jump from potatoes to bombing hospitals.

    That’s the source of potato jokes people crack about the Irish.

      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?
