    (continued from previous page)
    the food people ate long ago. Long ago the people ate their meals the same time as they do nowadays but their food was not as good as the food people eat nowadays. If the people took a piece of work by contract they worked for about two hours before their breakfast. For their breakfast they ate stirabout. they ate potatoes and buttermilk for their dinner. Very seldom they ate meat as they were too poor to buy it. The table was usually under the kitchen window. No tea was drank long ago.
