How they made Buck Bread in olden times.
The people used to make Buck Bread in olden times. It was made of grated potatoes .
This grater was made of tin which was pierced through several times with a nail,from the same side .
Then the potatoes were cleaned and peeled,and rubbed to the rough side of the grater in order to make a pulp of them.
The pulp was put into a losad with flour ,salt ,milk and a little soda,it was mixed,and made in the shape of a cake .
