- The people in olden times milled the flour themselves with querns. Querns and grinding stones can be seen to the present day. I have heard that a quern stone can be seen in Mr O Connell's of Kilmore.
Bread was baked on a griddle - a circular sheet of iron - which was placed over a a slow fire on a stand of three legs. Cuts were made on a griddle cakes to make squares. Stampy bread was also made of grated potatoes mixed with flour - This was generally used when potatoes were dug. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
