- It was considered almost a crime to drink milk or use it in any form on Good Friday or Ash Wednesday.
It is told that in this district about 80 years a number of men were sowing potatoes and when dinner time came they went into the kitchen for their dinner which consisted of potatoes salt and onions. One man demanded milk and the housewife said "You may get it yourself in the jug on the dresser but I will not hand it to you". He poured out a mug of milk but every time he went to take a sup blood spurted from his nose so he had to do without it.
