    “Well, you know, Irish cuisine has a lot of potatoes in it.”

    Joke fucking explained. How do you figure the guy’s going to be on the spot, exactly?

      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.

          Well played, though I doubt some Israeli making genocide jokes is going to be that familiar with Irish cuisine.

              … Hummus is a popular staple of cuisine all over the eastern mediterranean and much of the middle east.

              The word ‘hummus’ itself is from Arabic.

              Hummus is not particularly unique to Israel.

              You’ve apparently heard of hummus but you don’t know much about it.
