    Some old men never made tea in their lives. Tea was not used in this country till about 80 years ago for about twenty years after the tea was used in Ireland it was only seen on feast days such as Christmas, Easter and other feasts. It was a custom of the people in olden times to eat eggs on Easter Sunday.
