    Share Share Post
    In olden times bread was made from oats which was first crushed and then called oaten-meal.
    The oats was made in the Gallaghers mill in Bunree Ballina
    People do not remember of grindstones
    Potatoe cake was very popular
    The potatoe cake was made from cold potatoes a little flour, little salt, butter, carveway seed (Caraway seed)
    Before the potatoe cake was put on the pan it was cut up in farrells so that they could turn it easily
    Potatoe cake was made specially for Christmas night, and Shrove Tuesday which was called pancake night.
