Scotts Porage Oats

Advantages: Cheap, filling, nutritious.
Disadvantages: None really, unless you hate the taste of porridge.

Surprised to see me writing a review on porridge, aren't you? Well, frankly, so am I. Healthy breakfast foodstuffs generally aren't my forte, and until fairly recently breakfast consisted of 2 cups of espresso and 9 cigarettes. Maybe I'm getting old. Christ, I'm even drinking green tea. Anyway: porridge. Much beloved of Scottish people and the elderly. And, by all accounts, somewhat better for you than a big bowl of Crunchy Nut cornflakes liberally ...
...I think. Probably. I don't think there's a porridge plant, but I'm prepared to be proven wrong on that. As far as I know they're good for you because they're relatively unprocessed and contain lots of fibre, making you feel fuller for longer than refined cereals do. Normally I'd be arsed to Google this, but it's early in the morning and I'm a wee bit hungover, so you're just going to have to take my word for it. Moving swiftly on. I have porridge ...

Advantages: Healthy eating.
Disadvantages: None.

...to donate your packet of Scotts Porage Oats to the local riding school, lets look at why this was the case. Way back in medieval times, wild oats had a habit of wheedling their way into fields of wheat, and in some areas, taking over. Now although wheat was quite capable of holding its own in the warm lowlands, at higher, cooler altitudes the oats choked out the wheat. Oats were also able to extract more nutrients from the soil. So in effect, the ...
...2 rounded Tablespoons of Scotts Porage Oats (improvisation here folks) salt to taste. Put the water into saucepan and bring to boil. As soon as it reaches boiling-point, add the oats. Let them fall in a steady stream from your left hand, while you stir it with the right, using a spurtle (porridge stick) or the handle of a wooden spoon. (If you are superstitious, remember to stir clockwise - "deiseal" - and not "widdershins"!) When the porridge ... Read review

Advantages: Tasty, nutritious
Disadvantages: Some may think its bland?!

...packaging, I ended up buying Scotts porage (tha's how its spelt!) oats (well, I did live in bonny Scotland for a couple of years, and some members of my family are Scottish) - sorry Brian, no Ready Brek! The process of making oats is extremely complicated !!, as described earlier on. You add some three heaped tablespoons of oats to some 200ml of milk, and sugar to taste as desired, mix together and heat for two minutes in your microwave - don't ...
...the packet, and I can't be a**** to go and have a look, so there. After recovering from preparing your oats, you're ready to eat them as you please. I personally add two massive dollops, nearly a third of a can, of cold Nestle thick cream which makes all the difference to the taste. I've also tried some Gales white honey, adding banana slices, strawberries and many other bits and pieces to the porridge. They all taste wonderful, but my favourite ... Read review

Advantages: Tasty, Healthy,
Disadvantages: few black bits

Winters coming with a vengeance: The nights are getting darker as too are the mornings, the once hot sunny days are now freezing cold sunny days, the green leaves that donned the trees have turned golden and yellow and our eating habits often change. It’s time to start making those stews – complete with dumplings, warming up the curries, and forgetting the salads! But if you want to be healthier than the tasty Great British Fry up, what options ...
...or marmite, or Weetabix with warmed milk, but my personal preference is Porridge. I really don’t mind who makes my porridge but as t happens this time I chose Scott’s traditional porridge oats. Scotland is probably best known for its haggis (of which I’m a fan), but next to that must come the porridge oats? There are many brands of porridge available-Quaker being the other main runner. My packet of Scott’s porridge oats cost me around £1.60 for ... Read review

...to do with me.... Blame Scotts PORRIDGE Oats and chow...Sorry ciao, for letting them get away with it! Porridge! That stuff of legends. The greatest food known to man. The giant among cereals. The very first “fast food” known to man, and described by Robert Burns as “chief o Scotia's food”. Why do I make these claims? And what is so special about this vastly under-rated cereal? Porridge, as you are no doubt aware is made ...
