I got the Irish link to potatoes, but didn't make the jump to the full story that you've since provided. That being said, I would have bumped you up to a 6 had I known your intent through the story, as it was I gave you a 3 :(
I've got my eye out for you now, though :)
The potatoes look a bit dirty and well no offense look a bit like vomit, I didnt know what Irish potatoes were, I took the time to look them up and realize they are like a hash brown pancake, but members might not take the time to look them up and I suspect that this might hurt you in voting. Also there is a whole lot of brown going on here, not a lot to focus on. I can tell that you wanted this image to make a statement, unfortunately I think it got a bit lost. I gave you a 5.
