| Summary: | cook room n The size the ancient cookrooms depended entirely on the extent of the planter's fishery business, but in general they were about fifty feet long and thirty wide. Along the sides, a few feet from the floor, were the sleeping berths for the men, and a place underneath for each man's chest. The open space in the middle was devoted to the use of the tables, where sometimes fifty men sat down together at meal time. The bill of fare consisted of pork and duff, Hamburg bread and butter, tea, and oftimes spruce beer, a large cask of which was always on draft. PRINTED ITEM W. J.
