- This is told to me by my mother who learned how to make it from her mother. Mrs Kelliher (farmer wifes) Age 59 years.Stampy.One of the old customs among the youngsters both boys and girls was to gather on the long winter nights and make stampy. The boys would make a grater out of a flat piece of tin and hole it with a nail and join it to a board or stick. The girls would wash the potatoes and peel them. The boys would help at the grater. The girls would have a clean cloth and bruise the water out of the grated potatoes. Salt and a little flour were added and then all were kneaded. It was baked on a griddle over a fire. When baked they would enjoy eating it with butter and new milk.
