    Bread.
    Bread was made from wheat and oats. The wheat and oats were grown at home. There were no mills nearer than Clara. There is a grinding stone at Gaffneys.
    Potato cakes were made in oldentimes. They were baked on a griddle. Boxty bread was made also of grated potatoes and flour and milk. A cross was cut on top of the cake so that it would bake well. An oaten cake was baked in front of the fire on the griddle laid against sods of turf. It was baked very hard.
