    The food they used to have in olden times was stirabout, potatoes and milk. They used to have three meals a day.
    The time they used to have these meals was; the first meal at seven in the morning, the second meal at twelve in the middle of the day, and the third at six, and they used go to bed then about seven o clock.
    The people long-ago used sometimes have a half-day's work done nearly before their breakfast.
