    Food in olden Times
    The people in olden times used to get breakfast, the "snack", the dinner and the supper. The breakfast was eaten at nine o'clock and the dinner at two o'clock and the supper at seven o'clock.
    The people used to work an hour and a half before they got anything to eat. Principally potatoes were eaten and milk drunk - sweetmilk. There were no creameries in olden times.
