  1. Food in Olden Times

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the people used only have tea on Sunday and on Christmas morning. The tea was so dear that they were not able to buy it. Some of the people used have porridge, and they used boil a herring in the porridge and have it for their breakfast in the morning.
    The people had their own milk. Long ago the people had not the same amount of meals as we have now.
    Some days they would only have two meals and on other days they would have three meals.
