1. Boxty Bread

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   On Saturdays when I am free from all school-work my grandmother generally provides us with some unusual sort of cake, sometimes "boxty". Boxty bread, is plain and simply made. Four or five large potatoes are got and thoroughly washed. They are then thinly peeled and washed again. The grater is taken down from a nail on the dresser. Some of the household makes this grater by getting a piece of tin and boring a number of hole a half a inch apart. With it the pulp of the potatoes is grated into soft small pieces. The water is pressed out of the broken pulp by putting it into a nice clean cloth and by squeezing them until every drop of moisture has gone. The remains are put into a clean basin. Some boiled potatoes are procured, perhaps some would be left over since dinner, which could do nicely for that purpose. The boiled potatoes are thinly peeled also and broken up. The pulp of the boiled and raw potatoes are then mixed and some salt is added, together with sufficient flour. It is then kneaded in the same manner a plain four cake. When it is in a round smooth ball, it is cut in four parts and on a greased pan over a strong fire. At Christmas, when a goose or turkey is being cooked for dinner, a lovely dumpling tastes well. The dumpling is made exactly as the bread, but is not cut. It is often placed on a plate on top of the goose, so that it would not go in pieces.
