  1. In the olden times the people used eat potatoes salt and butter milk for their breakfast. They usually had three meals and for their dinner they had Indian meal and for their tea they had porridge. The people long ago used get up at four o'clock in the morning and stay working for two hours and a half and then they would come into their breakfast. They had potatoes salt and buttermilk. The table is put on the middle of the house in case of a big family.
