- The food people used long ago consisted of potatoes, salt and butter-milk. They had three meals a day, breakfast, dinner and supper. Some people used work three hours in the morning before their breakfast. They had their breakfast at six o'clock in the morning and their dinner at twelve o'clock and their supper at eight o'clock in the night. For the breakfast they had potatoes, salt and butter-milk and for the dinner and supper they had the same. The neighbours would help the farmers to put in the harvest. Then they would have a big feast called the "Harvest Home". They would invite everyone that helped them to the feast. The food they would have was paka and rye bread with buttermilk
