mom, again: you’ll just have to come back for another visit!

Clare: better late than never :) and yes, you will have to add the Boxty House to your list of Irish experiences…

Phyllis: Thank you! I missed out on the Murphy’s mushy peas, so I am clearly going to have to pay a return visit myself :)

Awesome post, Spud! Enjoyed watching the videos and now I can recreate the boxty pancake I had there last year. Gallagher’s looks a bit tourist-y from the outside but we had a wonderful time there, one of the most memorable meals of our visit. I fell in love with their version of mushy peas – marrowfat peas soaked in Murphy’s stout, I couldn’t stop eating them!

OK, I am SO there. That boxty looks sexy and I must have it! :) (How did I not see this post until just now?!).

suzanna: oh I can well believe it – I was born and bred here and have really only discovered boxty within the past few years myself

OysterCulture: Gallagher’s boxties are definitely worth trying out – hope your next visit is soon :)

What a fun read, and I cannot wait to try out Gallagher’s version of the boxtys, or to check out his establishment on our next visit. I love the sound of the bacon and cabbage version

Thanks for great tip! I’ve been living in Ireland for 5 years and never had boxty, would you believe it?
I like the way you describe irish food ;-) And I agree, it is not very advetureous, but it can be nice, hearty stuff.

Hey E, alas the Rock Garden is no more – it bit the dust quite a while ago – and goodness knows what happened to that young lad! :) There will be other places to go when you make it here again, though, and we’ll have some of the simple but good stuff together – like boxty – whenever that is!
