Abstract

Oatmeal is widely identified with Scottish food and indeed is its culinary leit‐motiv for the many tourists who visit a proud land. Sadly, however, Scotland has turned its back on oatmeal in favour of the easier to handle but less nutritious ‘modern’ foodstuffs. Perhaps the decline was instituted with the arrival of the potato?
