- Oat meal bread the people used to eat long ago. First they used to wet the meal with water and make it into the shape of a cake and then flatten it out. They used to bake it on a pan called a griddle.
They used also eat boxty and potatoe cake. This is how to make boxty. They first peel the potatoe. They then scrape the potatoe with a scraper until the potatoes is scraped. Then put the scraped potatoes into a piece of cloth and squeeze it and the water that would come from the potatoes you could make starch out of it by boiling it put the squeezed potatoe into a plate and put boild potatoes and a grain of flour through it. Put a bit of butter into the pan.
