    People long ago had not much food to eat and they used to eat only three times a day.
    The principal food they had long ago was potatoes.
    The tables they had was a block in the middle of the and a big board over it.They used to spread a cloth on the board and eat off it.When the meals were over they used to put the board by the wall. Scarcety of food.
