   Question : -
   Was bread made from wheat, or corn, or oats grown locally?
   Answer : -
   Yes, from wheat. It was grown locally and ground at Molahiffe Mill Co Kerry
   This mill was owned by Redmond Fitzgerald. The stream nearby was used for turning the wheel. This mill has not been used for the past thirty years.

   When the flour was brought home it was stored in bags in the dwelling-house. In order to dry it thoroughly, it was spread out on a sheet on the floor and turned. This was done repeatedly for three or four days until the flour would be dry and cool. It was then packed in bags again.

   Only griddles were used formerly for baking bread, there were no ovens.

   The bread was re-heated before using by standing it in front of the fire, supported by a sod of turf.
