There used to be a 'sort-of' traditional ceremony in Yorkshire ; 'first footing' which took place as soon after midnight on new year's eve as possible. The visitor/s would bring a lump of coal (or a log of wood), another would bring Salt, another fruit, and so on.
This all represented the wishes of the visitor that the house would never be cold or hungry in the coming year.

What a curious geography.
It implies that the Wassail custom spread inland from the coast.
And I've not heard this song before. It's super!

But Lemon fruit is
Impossible to eat
