    Water that oaten-meal was steeped in water was called flummery, and some salt and baking soda added. Oaten-bread that was to keep long was made very thin and no salt or soda put in it. This was made for people going on a long journey. The old people only made the bread once a week. They used to put a cross on top of the cake to keep it from cracking and they pressed a cup on the middle of it.
