  1. Bread

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the people ate oaten-meal bread made out of barley. The old people used send the oats and barley to Paul's Mills to be ground. Some of the farmers kept a bró for grinding the meal. They baked the bread on a griddle and they had a fire of wheaten straw. When they were baking the cake they put the griddle on a brand. When they were putting down the cake they put a cross on it and then it was made into four quarters. Then when they were turning it they turned it in quarters.
