    of bread made in olden times, such as, potato cakes, shell bread, and griddle bread. There were no oven pots in the district in olden times, but the bread was made on a griddle. The griddle was made of iron, with two handles and was hung over the fire. This bread was chiefly baked with firze (sic).
    In the making of this bread, milk was always added. In former times there was enough bread baked for a week at a time.
    On covered bread a cross or a stroke was cut on top of the bread, and by making this cross it allowed all the acid from the bread.
    Bread was often baked standing against a support.
