- Long ago people ate different food to that at present. In the morning they used to drink sour milk, and at dinner, they used to have potatoes; and in the evening a bit of gruel at the supper they used to have a potato cake.
They used get a grater and get potatotes and peel off the skin, and then grate then with the grater. They they used put them in a piece of cloth so as to take off the water off them, and after they used bake them and when the cake was baked they used it it hot with butter.
