    On Shrove Tuesday and St. Martin's Day a cock was killed as a special treat
    Not until some years ago did bacon come from America.
    That was a special treat then
    Each year the farmers went down to Courtown Harbour in their own carts for a load of herrings. They were salted and eaten the whole year round.
