“Long ago people made potatoe cakes, barley cakes and oaten cakes, and had them to eat.”
Long ago people made Potatoes cakes, barley cakes, and oaten cakes, and had them to eat.
They baked them on big griddles over big blazing fires. They did not ate flour cakes at that time, but they ate those kind of cakes. The people have no griddles now, they have bake pans to bake the bread in.
All those things are gone out of use now. The people do not eat this kind of bread now.
