  1. Oaten Bread or Griddle Bread

    Share Share Post
    This was the bread eaten in the locality, according to Ned, 50, 60, 70 or 80 years ago.
    The bread was baked on a griddle and expressed the greatest suprise that I had never seen one of the griddles - except a small one. The griddles used were as big as the school black-board, he said - i.e. over a yard in diameter.
    Straw was put under the griddle and when I asked him why, he declared, that straw was the best for baking.
