  2. Food Used on Ceremonial Occasions

    Share Share Post
    In olden times festival customs were kept in every house such as on Shrove Tuesday which is called pancake night when pancakes were made in every house. On good Friday the dinner consisted of Red Herrings roasted on a griddle and eaten with Sousheen or potatoes and gruel, for at that time milk and eggs were forbidden. On Easter Sunday morning a pot of eggs was boiled and left in a dish on the tabke and it was quite common for a man to eat six or seven.
