- Three meals a day the people used to eat long ago. The meals were breakfast, dinner and supper. The breakfast used to be eaten at eight o'clock. The dinner at one o'clock and the supper at seven o'clock.
The people long ago used work three hours before their breakfast. Some people used have a rood of potatoes cast before their breakfast. Other people used have three loads of turf at home.
The people long ago used have potatoes at every meal. They used use milk very often. The milk used was skimmed milk and butter milk. The table used be left in the middle of the floor long go. If there was a timber bed there they would turn the loaf of the down to protect it.
