1. Food of Olden Times

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   The people of this district in olden times used to eat three meals per day. They had the same names for these meals as the people of nowadays have, namely, "The breakfast", "The dinner" and the supper.
   The people of days gone by did much work before their breakfast. They used to milk the cows, feed the pigs, draw with the horse and dig with the spade. Those in the house used to churn the milk, spin and knit.
   For a couple of generations back, the people of long ago used to eat potatoes and buttermilk, in the morning, potatoes for dinner and oaten bread in the evening. They never drank any milk except buttermilk.
   They usually kept the table beside the wall during the meals, but in most houses it was hung up afterwards.
   They had no kind of bread except oaten bread, potato bread and boxty bread. To make oaten bread the meal has to be mixed with hot water until it is hard enough to stand against an iron for the purpose before the fire.
   To make potato bread, the potatoes have to be mixed with a little flour, soda and salt, and flattened out into thin farrels and baked on a pan.
