Splendid suggestion, Alistair.

>>127998885

> Implying Mick's have the brainpower to craft a fishing rod and understand what bait is

Fun fact. They'd never seen a fish before until the British showed them.

you can't ferment fish into booze.

>>127998885
If Ireland does caught fish they have to swim there but it is hard when drunked

>>127998885
Brittania ruled the waves.

>>127998885
they didn't want to eat something that smells like their wives

> Fishing without a potato.
You've never fished before I see.

>>127999437
>hold my potato

>>127998885

Because they were part of the United Kingdom at the time and Britain wouldn't let them.

>>127998885
The British pretty much took all surplus food and all the good food and sent it out of Ireland. Irish people didn't have control of such things and those who tried to defy the British were harshly punished.

>>127998885
Like, for real?
British Crown outlawed fishing not done by Crown approved fishers. Anyone caught fishing would be killed as a poacher.

Additionally, the Irish didn't have much in the way of fishing boats. They had timber frame kayaks with willow branches for shape, and waxed animal hides to actually keep out the water.

Additionally, most fish were fed to pigs. The irish never really cared much for fish outside of Friday (thanks, Catholicism!).

The problem was also that even if you COULD produce food, you needed to sell it to english landlords to pay rent and taxes to english landlords, and they'd pay you a pittance because there was nobody else to sell to besides other dirt poor potato farmers.

They couldn't load up a truck and drive through the Calais tunnel to hock their fish and produce in France. The well off farmers had a cart and a mule that could make a 10 mile trip and back in a day.

They also didn't have any real means to cure, smoke, or dry fish for transport, so it would spoil within 4-6 hours unless cooked, and even if cooked, would spoil by the next day.

>>127998885
They did you retarded leaf. Have you ever went fishing? It can take hours to catch a single fish. One fish could barely sustain one person per day. There were over 8mil people in Ireland. It's so obvious and clear they should have caught 8 million fish per day for 5 years of the famine. Kill yourself.

>Irish are stupid, lazy, superstitious, and like to make excuses
Yep, that's pretty much my experience with them as well.

>>127998885
Because we controlled ireland. It wasnt that there was no food, we just wouldnt give any of it to the fenians.

And can you blame us?

>>128000794
but if they are white then why do you act like a greed Niger?

No.

Just why'd you have to send them here dad. :-(

In fairness, coastal areas weren't as badly impacted as the rest of the country.

>>128000346
Ireland could easily be part of the UK today if the Brits treated them as equals to Wales and Scotland. I'll never get how they messed that up.

>>127998885
Holohoax when?

about 70 years late

>>128002495
Ireland doesnt want to be part of the uk you silly sausage.

>>128000209
I doubt they had such tight control over the seas at that time.

>>127998885
Thought those were nuts for a second from the thumbnail.

>>128002834
Youd be wrong.

>>128000346

Apparently they cared enough to starve.

>>128002873
Irish have a testicle for breakfast while botatdo grow maybe. LOL

>>128002495

Charles Trevalyn, who was in charge of government relief believed the potato blight had been sent by God to "teach the Irish a lesson".

Basically, Irish refused to give up their Catholicism and adopt Aglicanism so were never seen as anything more than trash subjects to be expolited.

>>128002834

You think Britain didn't control the seas of the UK? You're retarded. It's a small distance between the islands.

>>128001022
if you did genetic testing you'd find that nearly 70% of your genome is "irish"

>>127998885
Back in the day fish wasn't a good staple food because no refrigerators. Either you lived in a coastal town and got it fresh off the boats or it rotted before you got it

>>127999417

the british?

is that the Scots and Welsh, Celts largely colonized by Irish Gaels centuries before Angles and Saxons showed up?

faggot?

>>128002772
An island of agrarian potato farmers next to the world's super power hardly had a choice in the matter. If Brits could have reconciled Catholicism with the British identity they could have kept Ireland indefinitely.

>>127999616

>>128002979
>>128002893
They could've gone beyond territorial waters and fish there

>>128000794


yup.

thats why as a mick yank i laugh at all the muslims taking over London and all of England.

ireland will be taken over by gooks... better deal, by far, eh, Limeyfag?

>>128003069
You could dry the fish by smoking or salting.
You could also marinate it.

>>128003106

Odd since they haven't had a problem reconciling Islam

>>128003001
Most Irish have one single male ancestor.

>>128002652
reparations when, anglo

>>128000794
They all came here and ruined New England

>>127998885
They were too stupid to grow potatoes successfully, they would hardly be able to catch fish

>>128000413
Ireland had enough food to feed themselves, you retarded micks either sold it or were not allowed to collect the natural bounty of irelands coasts anyways.

>curragh
>couldn't make bigger boats
Dumb Irish.
>muh salt to preserve the fish was expensive
Moron Irish by the sea couldn't flood a small area and let the water evaporate to make free salt.

So, you're saying that the Irish are the niggers of Europe?

>>128004057

How fucking new are you?

>When the potato failed, fishermen all over Ireland pawned or sold their gear to buy meal. At Claddagh on Jan 1847 'all the boats were drawn up to the quay wall, stripped to the bare poles, not a sign of tackle or sail remaining... not a fish was to be had in the town, not a boat was at sea'.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP!

>>128002979
I said TIGHTLY.
To Tightly control such vast area of water in order to prevent any fishing would've cost more than it was worth unless you were planning to starve the Irish.

>>128002834
Try the entire worlds oceans

>>128003620
they were forced to grow potato becase all the good land became grazing ground for british beef and potatoes could grow even in shit land. Moreover, when governments were sending relief aid to Ireland, british navy was stopping them, because queen victoria gave them next to nothing and didnt want foreigners to give more

>>127998885
They sent all the irish fisherman to Newfoundland.

>>128002979
Basically "my fiction is truer than your fiction"

>>128003183
In what? The English had fleets of warships, the irish had planks of wood.

>>127999437
i bet you could

p-please stop bully lads.

In all seriousness why do we get so much shit? We fucked with wales and scotland a bit, but apart from that we're literally ultra good boys.

>>128004716
Potato is not native to Ireland so what were they doing before the potato?

>>128003001
None of me is Irish you cunt.
