- In olden times people usually had three meals a day. The meals were breakfast, dinner and supper. The people used to work in the morning before breakfast. Each meal consisted of potatoes sour milk and fish, and the table was placed in the centre of (of) the floor. I never heard of their been hung up against the wall in olden times in this district. The kind bread eaten in olden times was home made brown bread. Vegetables were eaten too in olden times with dinner. Indian meal was used by the people for supper. They used not eat any later than seven o clock. Meat and fish were eaten on special occasions only.
