Did
you know that when the Potato Famine in Ireland struck in 1845, 6 million in
Britain and Ireland existed almost completely on potatoes? How tragic it must
have been to depend on potatoes for both necessity and meals. Without potatoes,
though the established aristocrats have enough at their disposal to make up for
this loss, their meals will lack substantially something very dear, indeed!
Soups will be less fulfilling; plates will be less filled; guests will be left
unsatisfied! The loss that England and Ireland suffered was tragic, indeed.
