LOL @ people dying because they couldn't put potatoes in stew.

Wikipaedia the irish potato famine, the irish population lived on potatos and the chief dish was stew, whats to lol about?

They died of famine, not because they couldn't put potatoes in their stew. When you depend on potatoes as your sole source of nutrition and then you can't have any, you die. If you have meat to make stew and you can't put potatoes in it, you don't die.

Well Irish stew has potatos in it, if it doesnt have potatos its not irish stew, the irish ate potatos , the chief dish of which was irish stew and they died when the potato crop failed, so Im guessing their stews were more potato than meat , as for your "stews" of course you wont die from eating cooked meat without potato but then its not an irish stew go and google irish stew.

Oh honey, you should Google a lot more than stew. Hugs.

is that your best response? really? pathetic...

Not knocking, but coming from a person who referances "Wikipaedia" you should have anticpated some sarcasm;) HUGZ!!!! Try scholar sites when citing:) wikipedia can be changed by anyone.

She should read about Irish stew herself. Her own source (Wikipedia lol) states mutton is the 'dominant ingredient'. Not sure how many people would have died eating mutton only stew, but my guess is the people that died were the ones that JUST ate potatoes to get by, certainly not the poor Irish who were forced to do Atkins lol
