  2. On Food

    Share Share Post
    Oat meal bread was made by mixing as much oaten meal as would make a cake with soft water. They baked it o a stand in front of the fire. The bread stand was about a foot square of iron and a stand at the back to keep it from falling. They used to have culcannon for Halloween. Long ago on the night before Lent they would have for their supper potatoes and bacon and they would not eat any bacon for the seven weeks of Lent.
