   In very few places tables were used for dinner and where they were the potatoes were thrown out on the table and prevented from falling by a lath which was nailed around the top edge of the table. When the dinner was over the table was washed and cleaned and hung up on a wall outside to dry. It was usually called a 'losit'.
   On Shrove Tuesday the people ate pan-cakes and potatoe-bread and what was known as 'boxty'.. there were taken with new-milk and butter.
   On Easter Sunday eggs was taken with oaten-bread, butter and new-milk. On Hollow Eve night the people used eat colcannon, oaten-bread and butter and after words they ate apples. About eighty years ago people commenced to use tea on a very small scale in this district and for some time it was only used on 'state' occasions and was considered a very great luxury. The meal used for making tea was a tin tea pot and the vessel the people used drink the tea from was called a 'noggin'.
