My b...I'm delighted that you came across boxty. My brother,Pádraic Óg Gallagher,has a justifiable claim to having made boxty internationally famous, having opened Gallaagher's Boxty House in Dublin's Temple Bar way back in 1989. He has even returned to college in his 40s,and graduated as BA(Culinary Arts),with a thesis called "Boxty:The Caviar of North Longford'!<br />The boxty we grew up on in south Leitrim was quite close to yours, except we made a batter and made,usually into pan boxty about 8 inches across.<br />Especially efficacious for hangovers, along with some rashers of back bacon, decent sausages, black an/or white pudding and a fried egg. Soda bread,lashings of butter, chunky bitter orange marmalade and lots of strong tea...and not too many hard questions.<br />Pádraic Óg is attempting to break the world record for the biggest boxty dumpling this coming Thursday,attempting to beat the gnoccho record.<br />You can find some of his videos on www.boxtyhouse.ie and http://www.youtube.com/user/GallaghersBoxtyHouse#g/a<br />Erin is one of the names we have for Ireland; any family connection?The Green Capitalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00700656854026364464noreply@blogger.com
