- In olden times people used to eat only three meals in the day. Oaten meal bread and tea in the morning potatoes and salt meat for dinner and oaten-meal poridge with skimmed milk for supper. They used to make their own flour, bake their own bread, salt their own meat and grind their own oaten meal. When they were thirsty they used to make a drink of oaten meal sugar and cream and they called it práipín. On the 31th. of October they used to peal potatoes boil them and put cream on them and eat them that night
