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

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!)

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.

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