- Bread Now a days / is a great deal different than long ago. Now we have every kind of bread to eat. Long ago the people had only wheat - and - bread and oat - and - bread, it used to be so black they called it the black bread. Long ago there was flour made locally at the creamery in Askeaton, also at a mill a quarter of a mile south of Askeaton. There were stores for grinding wheat used at William O'Shaughnessy' in my great great-grand-father time. There was boxty bread stampty bread and potatoes - cakes made locally. At that time bread was made only once a week so when the end of the week would come mildue would be coming on the top of it. Bread was baked in a griddle or an oven long ago.
