What is Boxty?
Boxty is a traditional Irish food native to Co Leitrim and the North West of Ireland. Its origin dates back to before the famine times when it was so popular that it inspired folk rhymes:
"Boxty on the griddle, Boxty on the Pan, if you can't make Boxty, you'll never get a man"
Boxty is a very popular dish in the North/West of Ireland, in particular Co Leitrim, Co Cavan, Co Longford, Co Roscommon, Co Sligo, Co Donegal, Co Mayo and Co Fermanagh as it has been enjoyed for many years by Irish families living in these counties. However its popularity has now spread far beyond with families enjoying Mc Niffes Boxty all over Ireland as well as the UK, USA and Australia.
