In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire.
Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special.
When visitors came over they would hang up their bacon, to show off.

They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around talking and ''chew the fat''.
