Yeah wellll... I'm older (50 next year) and if someone brought up the famine then I'd maybe be a little touchy about it, but only if someone said something like "ah you stupid Irish we could have wiped you all out with another potato blight" or something like that. Just mentioning the word potato is not going to a) offend me or b) start me off talking about the Great Famine.
I am very tuber-tolerant, personally.
