  1. Food

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the food that the people used was much more nourishing than that of the present day. The food the people had in those days was potatoes and milk; oaten cakes and porridge. They used to have only three meals which consisted of breakfast dinner and supper. On special occasions boxty used to be made.
