- Stampy was made with flour and milk mixed with a spoon and baked in a pan. It was baked between two leaves of cabbage when there was no pan to be had.
A potato cake was made of potatoes and flour mixed and baked on a griddle.
Boxty is made from raw potatoes craped and mixed with flour and baked in a pan.
When an old woman came into a house a pasoid was boiled for her. The stampy, the pasoid and the potato cake are made still. The cross was put on the cake so that the fairies would not touch it during the night. Flummery is made from oatmeal soaked in water a few hours. Then it is strained and the juice is boiled and when it is boiled it is like jelly.
