- (continued from previous page)The special food on Easter Sunday was eggs, and it was a boast to eat a large number of eggs. I know a little girl (who would now be close on 50 years) who boasted that she eat 11 eggs on Easter Sunday.
Only a few years ago two boys named Paddy from Cork (Murphy was his name) one a poor traveller the other a farmer's son Tommy Murphy of Curragh now dead God rest him had a sort of racing match in Phelan's (Nul-wards) Tullogher, as to who would eat the bigger number of eggs. Tommy gave up after eating 13, but Paddy from Cork ate 15. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
