  1. What the People Used to Eat

    Share Share Post
    A long time ago people used to eat nothing but stir about for the breakfast and potatoes for the dinner and supper they used to eat only three meals in the day. They used to drink milk with the potatoes. There was no tea drank except a Christmas.
    The people used to go working to other people some times and they used to get only two meals of potatoes. There was stronger men and better men than is now.
