    Bread
    25th February '38
    The bread mostly used long ago was wheaten meal and oaten meal bread. The farmers grew their own wheat and the neighbours bought it when it was ground. In these days there were no ovens. They baked their bread in a pot oven. The pot oven was a round metal pot with a metal lid and it stood on three legs about an inch in length. The pot was placed on the hearth in front of the fire. There was hot turf placed under the pot and on the lid; the cake was baked in one hour.
