  1. Food in Bad Times

    Share Share Post
    When the people had no potatoes they ate stirabout. During this time a big farmer's daughter got married, and when the household got their stirabout every day, the girl's husband was always gloomy and quiet. His wife noticed him and she asked his mother about him, and she said that as he used always get the scrapings of the pot at home, he couldn't do without it now, and from that on he always got the scrapings of the pot.
