- Ash Wednesday and Good Friday were black fast days the people around here often used for dinner potatoes and light gruel. The gruel was made thus:-
Spring water was put in a pot to boil. Then oatmeal and a couple of spoonfuls of cold water were mixed together put into the boiling water along with an onion chopped finely and flavoured with salt.
Sometimes flour was used instead of the oatmeal and flavoured the same way with salt and onions and pepper.- Informant
