“Long ago they made bread named Boxty and this is how it was made”
Long ago they made bread named Boxty and this is how it was made. They grated potatoes with graters they made themselves, with a piece of [tin?] which they bored with nails. They mixed flour with the potatoes and they baked it on a griddle or on a lid of a pot on the hearth with red [coals?] all around.I often heard that they made soap this way they mixed ashes of wood and lard together and then boiled them well together.
