  1. In the old times people had very different food from what we have now. They used to at potatoes and sour milk even for their breakfast. They had no tea and not much bread either. They lived on Indian meal Stirabout they called it. The most of the houses were made of mud walls and had earthen floors. Only very small windows were in the house.
