Origins

The Great Famine, also known as the Great Hunger and sometimes referred to as the Irish Potato Famine mostly outside Ireland, was a period of mass starvation and disease in Ireland from 1845 to 1849. With the most severely affected areas in the west and south of Ireland, where the Irish language was dominant, the period was contemporaneously known in Irish as An Drochshaol, loosely translated as the "hard times" (or literally, "The Bad Life"). The worst year of the period was 1847, known as "Black '47".

These sack of fresh looking potatoes came from a poor Irish family who were killed over the sack and somehow imbued those exact potatoes to induce hunger into those who eat them.

Effects

When one of the potatoes is eaten, the victim will start to experience stomach cramps, sudden dehydration and dangerous weight loss. The victims also show growths of mold like patches on their skin, which can be tested and shown to be "Phytophthora infestans" which is also known as Potato blight. Prolonged use of the potatoes can lead to death, as the victims do not feel the effects.

The burlap sack of potatoes regenerate after each potato taken from the bag, which the bag and potatoes should be considered a bifurcated artifact.
