- The people long ago lived principally on potatoes which they had herrings and skimmed milk for dinner. They had porridge made either of Indian meal or oaten meal for breakfast and supper, with this they had sour milk and sometimes new milk. Bread was made with pea meal. The peas when ripe were treated like oats or wheat. They were ground either in a mill or a quern. All the vessels in the kitchen and dairy were made of timber.
The workmen had three meals, one early in the morning and one late in the evening and one about twelve or one o'clock.- Collector
