    Food in olden times.
    The people in olden times used to only eat two meals a day, potatoes were eaten at every meal and butter-milk was drank.
    The table was hung up on the wall, some of these tables are to be found still.
    The people used not eat any meal after six o'clock. They ate "colcannon"
    pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, nuts on All Hallow's eve and eggs on Easter Sunday. They used to eat oaten bread and it was very hard but they had very good teeth because they did not many sweets or hot tea.
