Well you see Irish people are retarded. They died because there were no potatoes.
The English helped them out, during the "first potato famine".
Then it happened again, and the English were like "WTF you do know potatoes aren't the only source of food on the planet right?", and didn't help the dumb shits out.  
So now Irish people hate English people because apparently, they died because of them. Because you know Ireland has no other food sources. They are no where near an ocean, so they can't fish. Also there also no animals, to eat.

What else did you want them to eat? They ate/sold everything they had for food.  
Yes, the could have caught wild animals if they had guns which they wouldn't have had if they were poor besides whay would they have caught? Rabbits? It'd take an awful lot of Rabbits to feed a hungry family of 5+.
As for Fish, well in thosse days cars so if you didn't live near a river/the sea even a 1/2 hour drive isn't a walk someone who was starving would survive. Plus if you weren't a fisherman the chances are you wouldn't know how to fish.
Also, they had grain but the british, who ruled the country at the time said "F*ck it, they'll be grand" and continued exporting it.
One last point; the first famine happened over 100 years before the first one and had nothing to do with potato blight it just happened to be a really cold winter.

By the way, there can be funny famine jokes...this just isn't one of them
