    Saturday or on Good Friday and they got a few eggs in every house. "Cubóg" it was called. Meat was eaten for dinner on Easter Sunday. There were no cups. The vessels used for drinking were called "Noggins". These were round wooden vessels like a mug but a straight handle stood up at one side.
    There were "trenchers" on every dresser and these were scoured as white as snow. They were shaped like plates but more hollow.
    Keelers (tubs) and cream stans were in every house.
