He then worked until 9 o'clock or so and came in and eat his breakfast. He seldom eat much else until his work was over at night, unless when digging potatoes when he might light a fire and roast some. Stirabout was the staple diet, with an occasional herring salted, of course potatoes at night. Variations of this diet were "boxty" and "flummery" described elsewhere.
