    Boxty Bread
    A favourite bread was the boxty
    cake bread. This was made of raw
    potatoes grated fine mixed with whole
    meal. It was baked on the griddle and
    was very palatable for the breakfast when
    cooked on the pan.
    This is a poem you would hear the
    woman of the house at in those days.
    Boxty bread it went a head.
    It travelled around the nation,
    Till it came to to the turnpike style,
    It is there it took its station.
    The only plan is to grease the pan,
    To make it turn easy,
    I go bail without much male,
    I'll make a cake that will please you.
