    I can find out from has ever heard of any special bread being made on any occasion.
    The following is an old rhyme about the making of the boxty bread:-
    The Boxty Mill began to shill
    To remind you of a fiddle,
    She gave it a squeeze betwixt her knees
    And clapped it on the griddle.
    The boxty was first made during the famine.
