Porridge has long been associated with Scotland, but how long have we been eating it? How should you traditionally make it? And does it taste better if you make it with milk? A quick tour through the history of porridge, and the different ways you can make it. Porridge Ingredients 40g oats 195ml water (or milk) Method 1.

Topping suggestions: Sprinkling of brown sugar Honey A drizzle of double cream and fresh fruit Banana and chocolate spread Maple syrup and apple Follow my adventures as I travel through the landscapes and history of Scotland. I make quick, quirky and (hopefully) funny content about Scotland's past, people and scenery. I look for the hidden stories, forgotten people and beautiful scenery of Scotland and try to find the funny in the darkness, obscurity and occasional absurdity of our history.
