- Bread.
Bread was made of wheaten meal. but the people lived mostly on oaten meal bread. The bread was always baked on a griddle but oaten cakes were put in front of the fire on a round bit of iron with three legs and when turf was scarce, the wheaten bread was wrapped in brown paper and baked in the ashes.
