- In olden days the people had three meals. For the breakfast they had porridge and sugar. And for the dinner they had oaten bread and milk, and for their supper they had flummery. The flummery was made fro seeds they used to get from the mill and they were boiled in milk and they used it every night. The people used to drink out of a wooden vessel shaped like a saucepan. In olden days the people worked before their breakfasts.
