  1. Bread

    Share Share Post
    Oaten bread was principally used, baked on a griddle. No flour was milled in this district. Querns were very common up to about twenty years ago. They were adjusted by means of a rag on the pivot which was called the navel.
    Potato cake was very common too. It was wet with milk.
