- Stampy was eaten in large quantities by the people of this district many years ago. It was considered a great novelty then but is now never eaten. The principal ingredient of stampy were potatoes. Those were grated into pulp with a grater. The water and starch was squeezed out of them and flour was mixed with the pulp. They were kneeded into a dough like our bread of today. It was then placed on a griddle to bake. It was usually eaten hot, with butter or left until cool.
