   In olden times the people made flour bread, and potato cake, and oat bread. They ground wheat into flour locally, and then they kneaded the flour with buttermilk and made it into bread. People remember grind stones, there was a grind stone in Ture, Co. Donegal. They made oat bread out of oat meal and boiling water and hardened it against a gridiron before the fire. They made potato cake out of boiled potatoes and flour, and rolled it out and cut it into farls.
