   Oaten cakes called hurlies about the size of a hurley of boxty (the size of your two fists together) were often boiled in a pot of cabbage and bacon for dinner, too
   after a fair day in Swad, you got boiled beef and broth with lots of oat meal, and sliced turnips, or bits of green cabbage in the broth. A bowl of that broth right thick, would bring the sweat out on you like a pig on a Winters day.
   The beef was only 2d. a pound then. It was a great treat, and seldom or never got by the very poor.
   In the time of digging the potatoes, all the big picked potatoes were made into boxty. You got a feed of boiled boxty, mad hot, in hurlies, covered with butter, and lots of oaten bread, and milk, for your dinner. Veal was very plentiful too. In the early Spring, when milk was scarce, you got sowans uncooked instead of milk.
   Youd get a noggin full of raw sowans, take to your potatoes, or stirabout,
   (noggins were wooden mugs that were used everywhere. There were wooden egg stands too, that any one could make of wooden spoons. Copins were small dishes, that people used to lift the buttermilk out of the churn. Pigcens were wooden things for Cop-ins: pig-ins: noggins
