- Food in the olden times consisted of potatoes and porridge. Potatoes were used for dinner with milk from which the cream had been removed; with this and a little butter and salt a good dinner was made. Meat was very little used then. For breakfast they had porridge and skimmed milk, and the same for supper. Eggs and meat were only used on special occasions, such as Christmas and Easter. On the latter feast day, people used consume a lot of eggs for breakfast, sometimes up to twelve without any ill effects.
