  2. Food in Olden Times

    Share Share Post
    In olden times people only took two meals a day. They ate yellow meal and water for their dinner and oaten bread for their supper which they took about six o'clock. On St. Martin's day a cock or hen was eaten. Eggs were eaten on Easter Sunday. Potatoes were the usual meal. They used to spread a bag on the floor and put the potatoes on it and then they all knelt around it and ate a hearty meal.
