  2. The Local Foods

    Share Share Post
    Meat was not eaten much in former times. Shrove Tuesday night was a great feast for bacon and then there was no more bacon eaten for the 7 weeks of Lent until Easter Sunday. An old man named Masterson of Firmalaugh ate a half a quarter of eggs on Easter Sunday. He made three meals of them. Tea was seldom used at all. Cups were not used noggins were used instead.
