NOTE: Boxty is the traditional Irish fare for Shrove Tuesday.
Composed of grated raw potatoes, mashed cooked potatoes, with flour
added as a binding agent, Boxty is either fried in a pan or browned
on a griddle. It is mentioned in a traditional children's Irish
jingle:

"Three pans of boxty, baking all the day,
What use is boxty without a cup of tay?"
