Most don't realize those responsible for the potato famine(the lumpin cultivar, hardly a famine though it was the foundation for peasant diet) were the English landlords. It was during a time of abundance, plenty of food to go around, it was just exported at the detriment of the peasant Irish for the profit of the English landlords.
