  1. Bread in Olden Times

    Share Share Post
    Potato bread was made from boiled potatoes bused and mixed with flour and cooked on the griddle. It was fried when cold. Wheat was ground up between a cairn. The cairn was a hollowed stone with another stone that fit into it. Often bread was made from oaten meal and mixed with boiling water and cooked on a griddle or a grid iron.
