  1. Bread

    Share Share Post
    In a house in Drumear there are hard grind stones.
    Every second or third day the bread was made. In Tommy Butterly's of Clonmore there is a griddle thrown out.
    The mark put on a cake is like a cross, some say it is to make it rise others say in In the name of the Father, Son, & Holy Ghost.
    My Grand Aunt told me that oaten bread was baked before a fire. Nearly ever house in the districts had griddles long ago.
    I knew a few houses in the districts where griddles are used still.
