Hakes were the hooks used to suspend pots over the coal fire (I'm not as old as that, it was before my time) They were extremely black as the soot collected on them. My Irish mother was always saying "...black as the hakes..." For instance, "Yer hands are filthy girl. Black as the hakes. Go and wash them at once!" |
