   On Christmas day as a very special treat tea was drunk and beef eaten. On certain feasts of the year certain foods were eaten such as plum pudding, roast beef and turkey at Christmas, pancakes at shrove, eggs at Easter, Colcannon, nuts and apples at Halloween and goose on Michelmas day. Wooden noggins were used before cups came into use.
