I remember my granny making them on a sunday afternoon hot off the griddle absolute magic with butter.
Ah those were the days.

Hi John, we could'nt wait for the apples to cool & were dancing round Ohhing & Ahhing when eating the potato apple bread, we did'nt mind the scorched tongue. Happy days. Currant soda & butter with mature cheese that made your jaws crack. Barm bracks, spice cakes my mouth is watering...Joe

John, aare you related to the McClinton's, the plasters, from Lisburn, who were rleated to Denis McGurnaghan, the plasterer from Lisburn. My husband asked me this. I only know Denis's wife, Lila, who went to primary school and the Tech with me.

John
