    to America they would bring oaten cakes with them and they would boil the sweet milk to keep it from turning sour.
    They would bring bully beef and oaten biscuits made from oatenmeal, rice pudding, and whiskey.
    They baked the oaten cakes by the side of the fire in a dish.
    They used to work for the famers for eightpence a day & before they ate their breakfast they would work for three hours.
    From 6 o'clock till nine they would work & at nine o'clock they got their breakfast. On Easter Sunday they would have boiled eggs & have a party out in the fields.
