EVERYONE WHO IS IRISH: HOW DO YOU DO IT? I watched a cooking show on TV tonight about the food of Ireland. Lovely show. Then they stated a fact. The average (key word AVERAGE) person in Ireland eats 300 lbs of potatos per year. I get there probably isnt a big call for rice or pasta but 300 lbs! I think we buy for the two to four of us (depends on the week) 50 lbs a year period. So.. are you eating 300 lbs of potatos a year and if so HOW??
