    Share Share Post
    The bread was made from oaten meal and boxty and oats in the olden times. The flour was made locally. People remember querns being used in the district. Bread was made from potatoes in the olden times. The people kneaded the water, bread with water.
    Bread was made once or twice a week. The people used to put a cross in the top of the cake. The bread was baked in an oven. There was bread baked in front of the fire against the lid of a pot. It is made of steel. There was griddle-cakes made at times. There was no special kind of bread made on any occasion.
