- In olden times the people used to eat three meals a day. The most common food they used to eat was porridge and potatoes. They use to eat this for every meal. Men worked a few hours before their breakfast. At every meal milk was used instead of tea. Butter milk and potatoes were used at some meals.
People used to sit round the table when eating. The bacon the people used to eat was American bacon sold at three pence or so per lb. Fish was used very plentifully that time. - Transcription guide » You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
