    "What's your name?
    Butter and crane
    Whats your fancy?
    Cake ands stampy"
    The boys and girls of Miltown say this to each other.
    Long ago the people used to make bread with potatoes called stampy.
    They used first scrape the potatoes.
    Then they used to squeeze them to a cloth. Then they used to work it up with a little flour and salt
    They used to work it up also with the starch of the potatoes.
    They used to cut it out in quarters
