Everybody knows about Irish food, just like everybody’s heard of hummus

... Hummus is a popular staple of cuisine all over the eastern mediterranean and much of the middle east.

The word 'hummus' itself is from Arabic.

Hummus is not particularly unique to Israel.

You've apparently heard of hummus but you don't know much about it.

Hummus is not particularly unique to Israel.

Potatoes aren’t even native to Ireland.

Not necessarily, and if they have, they might not know the ingredients. Even hummus, many people don't know what it is made from. If someone is making a joke about genocide and forced to quickly switch gears to a culinary discussion, I doubt they'd play it off so well. They might, but I doubt it.

People pretty generally know that the Irish cook with potatoes, as a result of the Potato Famine and the resulting Irish diaspora. People are extremely likely to have interacted with people whose name and descent are Irish.
