    These are the sort of cakes they made on certain days.
    On Christmas Eve, and Christmas day they made currant-bread and sweet bread and brown cakes and buns. On shrove Tuesday they made pancakes on November's night they made colcannon. On New-year's Eve and New year's day they made potato-cakes. Now the people use different bread to what they had in the long ago. They buy "loaves," either curran(t)-bread or seed loaves any pay either five-pence or six-pence for them.
