- A Noggin is a very ancient vessel and it is made of wood. It is about five inches high and the mouth of it is also about five inches wide. It is narrower at the bottom than it is at the top. At the top there is a piece of wood about two inches high with a hole in it. It was into this hole a person put his thumb when he would be holding his noggin. A Noggin was used to each porridge out of long ago. People used to eat porridge with a wooden spoon or "sluasóg" as it was called.
