Scott`s Porage Oats

You have all seen the box (top of page) of the Scotsman wearing a kilt and putting the shot. This is the packaging for the original Scott's Porage Oats. There is a second box however showing the same picture but with an orange/brown background containing Scott's Old Fashioned Oats which are a little larger. I like them both. WHY SCOTT'S PORAGE OATS? The blurb on the box informs us that Scott's Porage (this is not a spelling mistake) Oats have been milled in Scotland since 1880 and to ensure that we enjoy every bowlful they use only the highest quality oats and milling process. Compared to rival companies and many cheaper ...  Read the complete review

As I get bigger with first baby seem to be wanting to write more and more reviews about food - strange that! Scott's porage oats have long been a favourite of mine. Having had horses most of my life I am used to getting up early - mucking out, riding and then coming in, freezing cold and hungry for a hot bowl of porridge. Can't ride due to baby at the moment but still having this most days. In the early stages of my pregnancy this was the only breakfast that I could keep down so had it almost every day for 16 weeks! Anyway, less about me - more about the product. What is it? Quite simply it is oats - and that ...  Read the complete review

I suppose I could put my *ahem* granite-hard Caledonian exterior down to one thing above all others: a childhood that involved scoffing copious amounts of porridge. It was a winter activity mainly, with Sugar Puffs and Frosties taking over the breakfast responsibilities during the warmer months, but it was one that was accompanied by full-fat creamy milk and sugar which does kind of suggest that I gave up wearing shorts more than a few years ago. It was almost something of a patriotic duty, even if beefy Georgian wit Samuel Johnson once described oats as "A grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people."
