  3. Bread

    Share Share Post
    The bread that some people eat in this district is made from the local wheat when it is milled. Floor was never made in this district. I do not know whether people remember querns? or ever heard about them. People used to eat potato cake, boxty, wheaten bread, and oat-cake. Potato cake is made with boiled poatoes salt and flour. Boxty is made in the same way but the potatoes are raw and grated. Wheaten Bread is made with wheaten meal bread soda and salt and butter milk.
