    Share Share Post
    In olden times people just had three meals a day. their breakfast, dinner and supper. Their breakfast was at 7 o'clock, dinner was at 12 o'clock and supper a 9 o'clock. Men that were feeding cattle worked before getting their breakfast. They got oat meal porridge for supper. People always ate fadge in olden times which was made from potatoes. They seldom ate fish it was always vegetables and potatoes.
