They have fine hams. We have chicken everyday for dinner. Main things are ham, chicken, cabbage, potatoes, milk eggs, turnips, apples, gooseberries, plums, onions, and parsnips. They can go to town and get fresh meat if they care to do so or get any article they want in the market which has the same things as we have at home, but the above are the main things they eat in the country. The blackberries are just blooming but you could not induce the country people to eat one.
Strawberries grow wild along the hedge fence.
I ate a lot yesterday. They have a fine flavour. They have several chestnut trees around their house but they think chestnuts are poisonous. Hanes have two large orchards and I never saw such an abundance of apples. They can their apples and make apple jelly but do not know anything about apple butter.
