    have sticks and if they saw a blackbird, thrush, or pigeon they would hit him with the stick and kill him, and they would eat him. Eggs were eaten on Easter Sunday and fish, and they would nearly always have some "wild animal" for it also. They used also eat vegetables. On Christmas day they used have a deer, and they would boil some of the deer and they would have some for their breakfast, and they would have some for their supper deer used also be eaten on New year's day. I have never heard when tea was first used around here. About 70 years ago.
