  1. Food in the Olden Times

    Share Share Post
    The food in the olden times was far different from the food we have now.
    Long-ago the people had potatoes for every meal. And with the potatoes they used to have salt and separated milk.
    For the supper they used to have Indian Meal. In the morning they used to have the potatoes as usual.
    Many of the people had to emigrate to foreign countries to seek a living for themselves. Some of them joined the American Navy and others went to Canada and Australia.
