- The people in olden times used to eat two meals in the day, their breakfast and dinner. The people worked in the morning before their breakfast. They used to use porridge and butter milk and potatoes. Potatoes were eaten at nearly every meal because some people had nothing else to use. The people eat around the table. The table was placed near the wall. The bread was potatoe cakes and yellow meal cakes and pollan cakes. They used to bake it on a griddle and not in an oven. They use not eat meat from Easter to Christmas. They generally used to eat American bacon. Before cups came in they used to use jam-crocks.
