Is that a local recipe unique to Fermanagh? Michael from Cork and Cathal from Clare had never heard of it. I had it in Belcoo.

Darling Sister Dee and Brother Bruce, I'm reading and hearing ye both loud and clear. If I wrote a book it would be like a Grasshoppers journey. Jumping from leaf to leaf and avoiding the cup of hot tea as in the hay field! Funnily how everyone used to get one in their tea, just as the cup approached the mouth. A hay straw folded was the best tool to remove it in the loop. No such finicky thing like ditching the contents of the cup. One was hot and thirsty and those Egg and Oinion sandwiches in Batch Loaf bread needed lubrication to wash them past the Tonsils. Batch Loaves had Square Flat crust bottoms and Crusty domed Tops. They were baked in 'Batches' of Six in Trays using Top and Bottom heat. The four sides were soft as they were so closely packed they never got direct heat and only pulled apart into ones or twos at the time of sale. Viola

Dearest Vi, Our history comes alive through your eyes and memories! These are as precious to us as knowing our ancestor's names and places of birth. Without these clear memories we would only have lists of names and dates - not my cup of tea and, I believe, not anyone's on this marvellous list - with or without grasshoppers :)) Read somewhere recently that people truly die only after they are forgotten; probably why we list all the babies born and quickly departed, they too are not forgotten. We can obtain many of the lists of names from sites such as Ancestry - the memories we are gifted from you. Dee. -----Original Message----- From: Viola Wiggins [mailto:vmaw3434@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, 20 May 2018 10:06 PM To: This list is for those researching their ancestors in Fermanagh and surrounding counties in Ireland Subject: FERMANAGH-GOLD -Re: Grasshopper tales.
