Remember, Ireland was not out of potatoes during the famine. Farmers could just make a lot more selling those potatoes to the English. Asians are paying $20/barrel above market price.
They're selling the only stores of medium sour crude we have that can *efficiently* make diesel and jet fuel

My understanding, at least one of the famines was due to a blight that affected all the potatoes since they used the same type all over the island.
