- (continued from previous page)Sometimes bread was made every day and more times it was. only made every week. Some of the people used to make potato bread long ago. They used to scrape off the skin of the potatoes and cut them up small and mix them with flour and bake them in an oven before the fire. They used to make oaten bread on the griddle long ago. They used to make an oaten cake and put no flour in it and bake it on the griddle. There is a hanging oven also which is placed before the fire and there is fire put under it.
