- Two meals a day people had in olden times. They had a late breakfast and a supper. Some people worked before their breakfast. They used to have stirabout and separated milk for breakfast and potatoes and salt for the supper. The table was never hung up on the wall. Meat was eaten twice a year at Easter and Christmas. The old people never ate late at night. The old people only got tea at Easter. They got eggs only on Easter Sunday. Before the cups became common jam pots were used.
