Now where there any mashed potatoes on this Dublin ship? I once was called in to my boss' office when he learned that my family did not have mashed potatoes and gravy for our Thanksgiving dinner.

That's one trip the Irish should have scratched. The Pilgrims were complete Morons. They were so bad the English tossed them out. They hated anything other than granite Protestantism and gifted us with Puritan ideals that survive to this day - a pity.
