Cockle bread became an essential part of British culinary culture as it was associated with the folklores of casting a spell. One such belief associated with the baking of this bread revolved around attracting the desired partner and winning their love. Young ladies kneaded the dough with their buttocks in a way to attract the love of their desired partner. In fact, the morsel of this bread was fed to the desired man and this is why moulding of the bread had sexual connotations. While baking the bread ladies would chant a 19th century rhyme and attract love:
My granny is sick, and now is dead,
And we’ll go mold some cockle bread.
Up with my heels and down with my head,
And this is the way to mold cockle bread.
