- Seventy five years ago, I well remember the supper we had on Christmas night. On this particular night we had tea. Tea of course was very scarce and dear at that time.
For Christmas night we got a stone of flour, and a little tea and sugar. We made the tea in a pot, as we had no teapots then. For drinking the tea, we used mugs and wooden noggins.
At the supper we used the cake made from the flour, in addition to potato cake and "boxty bread".- Collector
