- Long ago the people had no tea. They had three meals in the day. For the breakfast they had milk butter and bread and eggs if they had them and for the dinner they had potatoes and milk and butter and sometimes cabbage and for the supper they had stirabout and milk. They used to get up early in the morning and go out to work on the land for an hour or two before the breakfast.
