| | Porridge |
 | | Porridge is a mixture of ground or flaked cereal grains cooked in water — but affluence has exchanged the water for milk or cream. | | | In Asian countries porridge is made from rice where the rice is cooked to a pulp and the cooking water is eaten as well. | | | Peas porridge is different in that it is made from dried peas soaked and then cooked to a puree like rice porridge. |

| | Porridge: a stirring story The popularity of porridge is on the riser from a murky past to its popularity as a healthy food and the opening of a porridge bar in Edinburgh, by Alistair McKay, The Scotsman. | | | Porridge is the new fast food, more on the Stoats Porridge Bars, but 'when it comes to stirring the owner pays little heed to old wives' tales which recommend using only wooden spurtles'. | | | Today, most porridge is cooked with rolled oats, which are processed by steaming the oats and rolling them into flakes. |

| | PORRIDGE |
| | Porridge, like broth, is referred to in the plural. | | | Porridge was traditionally eaten with a horn spoon, rather than a metal one, which could become rather hot.The traditional "brochan" bowl was made of hardwood. | | | Each spoonful of hot porridge is dipped into the cold milk before being eaten, to cool it off (obviously, Goldie didn't know this!). |

| | PORRIDGE: In a medium to large saucepan (use a large enough pan, as the oats expand and easily boil over) combine the oats, cracked wheat, cinnamon, salt and milk. | | | The porridge contains cracked wheat and is cooked with milk, which gives it more depth in flavor and texture. | | | What makes this dish really wonderful is the caramel oat topping, which should be made ahead of time. |

| | There is a misapprehension that porridge made from meal takes a long time to cook, but be assured it takes only as long as it takes to set the breakfast table. | | | In older times a 'porridge drawer' in crofters kitchens dressers was filled with fresh cooked porridge and when cold was cut into squares for the crofter to take onto the hills for sustenance. | | | Traditions and myth surround the making of porridge, some say the oatmeal was to be added in batches, some say at the beginning and some say it ought to be added half way through the cooking to produce a nuttier flavour and interesting texture. |

| | Porridge and the Spurtle |
| | The utensil used for stirring the oats in the porridge making process was called a spurtle or stirring stick and was made from a thin branch of a tree. | | | The porridge only required a little salt and it was ready to eat. | | | In this age of continental breakfasts and fast food however, the making of porridge is not so common and the spurtle can be used for stirring paint or even mixing wallpaper paste. |

| | The Observer Magazine Doing Porridge |
| | Porridge is only at its best when served so hot it brings a little red lump to your top lip, but that is to catch it just as it's poured into the bowl, before it has even had a minute to become safe enough to eat. | | | Bring the water to the boil, stir in the oats and stir continuously till thick and softly bubbling, a matter of 2 minutes or less. | | | Such organisation of a morning is too much for me, and I tend to take the rolled-oat option, which produces a texture somewhere between that of pinhead porridge and the warming oat-glue provided by the small flakes of fine commercial porridge oats. |

| | The Scottish Tradition of Oatmeal Porridge |
| | In Shetland, porridge is called milgruel, and is sometimes made with bere-meal which is a kind of barley. | | | There is some confusion in terminology, but generally the drum-stick-like porridge stirrer is called a spurtle and a flat sided stirrer is a spatula. | | | This I think originates from when oats were eaten as brose, which must have weighed heavy on the stomach. |
