Boxty is a Secret weapon devised by leperachauns in ancient times in case they were ever caught flying them UFOs. It is a food and after a victim is captured by the aroma, are then led by the nose to the location. Next while they dally at the trap their taste buds are bewitched by leperachaun spells. Now captive the unfortunate prisoner is byond hope and will next take a little bite. They are gonners. Caput. See Alison's recipee, but mark me, that is not the most potent mixture by a long measure, a variation called Col-cannon- I think :) Mind you I'm no expert being a travelling person and never spending more than the width of a week in any one place. But the land of the leprechaun is hard to find and when found hard to loose again. Some Greeks once went there and were lost for a day, the mist fell on them and not knowing up from down, they never did find their way back home. (See Dublin history) This explains why the travelling people of Ireland are travellers. Once you decide to leave - it's a whole new deal finding the exit.
