“In the olden times people made bread and baked it on griddles...”
In the olden times people made bread and baked it on griddles. They also had a brand with three legs under, to leave the griddle. In those times they baked the bread with wheaten straw. They made wheaten and oaten meal bread then. They used to make oaten meal bread and they way they baked it is this. They would put it standing at the fire with a piece of kippers at the back of it holding it and they called that a pusslicker. At a later period they got pans with rims on them. The pans were a lot handier then than the griddles. The people of the present use the oven pot to bake with a fire under and over it.
