  2. Food in Olden Times

    Share Share Post
    In the olden days people ate three meals a day. These meals consisted of porridge for breakfast, potatoes for dinner and wheaten bread made of corn for supper, fried on a griddle. They always had a good breakfast before dawn, because they were at work by sunrise.
