Why did the brexiteers not think that it could go two ways?

At least I'm glad to see the Express firmly blaming Boris: "BORIS Johnson is failing to safeguard the livelihoods of UK fishermen currently unable to visit seas off the coast of Norway, Greenland etc"

british eat obscene quantities of garbage like garbage americans except with the hundos of billions in corn and dairy subsidies and dereg beef to produce cheap mcdonalds red meats 24-oz steak n potatoes w ketchup to cram down their gullets each day after day and cheap gulf-coast and colonial alaskan mass-fishing to stock up red lobster for cheap seafood and without having a massively subsidized central valley and ogalla agricultural scene. now imagine if america lost all those things and still ate that quantity of garbage

Also no that's not a joke - potatoes are on the list of things the UK won't be getting easily, and they're not grown enough locally.

Beans, turnips and barley meanwhile are fairly easy. Oats also not a problem. Apples, though uncertain if they're the feed variety or the human variety, so they might be a lot sour. Wheat, in some amounts, especially for lower quality.

Ireland could fairly easily make sure Britain doesn't get potatoes.

There will be adequate food if you're willing to eat animal feed though.

We're good for spuds, thanks. Ireland produces around 8x more food than it consumes nationally. We're the most food-secure nation in the world.

Even at the height of the famine Ireland was producing more than enough food to feed the entire population. But it was all being shipped to Britain under military protection, to feed the masses who had been forced to abandon the countryside to work in the new industrial towns.

I didn't say Ireland had a shortage of potatoes.

Just that EU-wide the total amount of potatoes is slightly short of normal supply, which is good news for anyone in the EU growing them. But it also means they're not nearly as profitable to export to Britain than, say, barley or low-quality apples.

The joke does fall short when you dig into the statistics because why would Ireland be importing potatoes even for processing given their domestic production's already mostly sold as-is and you can buy that and skip the transport. Other than to create the scenario where the Brits can't get any potatoes.

Which might happen anyway because potatoes aren't exactly the best option for jumping through the new hoops.

while Ireland was in the EU it could be logical to send potatoes there to be processed if they had all the processing facilities due to economies of scale and frictionless trade
