  1. The potato bread was made from boiled potatoes and flour.
    The potatoes were put in a dish along with flour and salt.
    They were mixed up together and rolled with a bottle and put on the griddle.
    The oaten cake was made of oaten meal milk and salt.
    People long ago and of the present day make a cross on every cake.
    If the oaten bread was not hard they would say it was not baked.
    When people long ago would be going to America they would bake as much bread so would do them over across the sea.
