The simple answer is the humble oat’s ability to grow with limited sunlight and in a large amount of rainfall. Sound like anywhere we know and love?

There’s nothing wrong with microwaving porridge, especially if you are in a rush in the morning. Instant porridge is fine if you stay away from flavoured or sweetened versions. Even healthy-sounding flavours such as apple and blueberry generally contain added sugars. But how much do you really know about this famous brand? 1. The Hound from the Game of Thrones grew big and strong on Scott's Porage Oats

It was also the custom in olden days to eat porridge standing up (cited in the Three Chimneys Recipe Book. Rolled Oars / Jumbo rolled / Old Fashioned Oats – Probably the most popular or common oat, these oat groats are flattened by rolling and have been through a steam process. They have a more gentle flavour but take less time than some other oats to make porridge. We use these oats in this recipe. Do fill the used pan with cold water and a little washing up liquid as soon as you have served it into the bowl. This keeps the residue moist and helps to prevent it setting hard. In fact it is the avoidance of the pan washing that turns many porridge breakfasters to the microwave! With good stirring and and an immediate soaking, the pan washing up shouldn’t be too much of a trial! More Oat Recipes Some of the more interesting toppings we’ve read about are butter, chocolate or whisky. We can understand adding butter over the centuries and even a dram of whisky, but here at Scottish Scran, we think if you’re going to add chocolate, then maybe just buy some Coco Pops! How many Calories are in Porridge?

Whichever porridge you choose, make it with low-fat milk or water to keep the calories down and minimise saturated fat, especially if you are trying to lower your cholesterol levels.For something so simple as a bowl of traditional porridge it can be difficult if you don't get the ratio of oats to liquid quite right. Sadly we only had a spoon to hand when we made this recipe, but the Devil was fended off successfully!
