- Long ago the people had barely enough food to keep them alive. They got only two meals per day. They got up at six o'clock, and worked away until eight o'clock without eating a bite. Then they got their breakfast. Cold oaten Porridge and sour milk they ate for their breakfast. They would not get anything else until nine o'clock. At Xmas or any special Feast day. The people got Cabbage dressed with fat meat, and a few potatoes, and for a drink they drank curds and whey.
