    CHRISTMAS
    It was always the custom to have a couple of hens killed for the dinner. A pot of broth was made. All classes of vegetables were put into the soup, turnips - cabbage - onions - barley.
    The men always managed to get a glass of whiskey that day.

    EASTER
    Eggs was the only special food that day.

    There was a hen for the pot every feast day.
