Join porridge enthusiast and keen amateur cook Alasdair MacLeod for a light-hearted look at the evolution of porridge.
Brochan lom, tana lom ? Tha Alasdair MacLe貌id an d脿 chuid f矛or dh猫idheil air lite, agus na sh脿r ch貌caire neo-dhreuchdail. Na chuideachd bheirsinn s霉il shuigeartach air mar a tha brochan air f脿s bho bhith na bhiadh irioslaich, gu bhith na roghainn de bhracaistean ann an saoghal bidhe an l脿 'n-diugh!
Tha lite air a bhith aig cridhe beathana h-Alba fad iomadh bliadhna. Biadh saor agus s脿thach, dha cuid tha e a' dusgadh iomadh cuimhne shona an 貌ige. Chan e an aon duan dha cuid eile ge-t脿 - 's iad a' cuimhneachadh air measgachadh annasach a bha cnapach, sleamhainn agus glas na choltas! As bith d猫 ur beachd, ann an 2011 tha am brochan a' c貌rdadh ri barrachd is barrachd, 's air cli霉 霉r a chosnadh mar "s脿r bhidhe". Gu dearbha tha margaidheachd bhrochain na R矛oghachd Aonaichte luach 拢171 millean an-dr脿sta!
Tadhalaidh sinn air Farpais Bhrochain an t-Saoghail ann an Drochaid Charra, agus ch矛 sinn c貌 a thogas an 'spurtle 貌ir'. An sin ch矛 sinn mar a tha am brochan air a dh猫anamh gu traidiseanta, agus an iomadh n貌s agus car 霉r a tha cuid a' toirt air san l脿 'n-diugh. Bho bhith a' cur mil, blueberries, no teocaid na mheasg, gu burgairean lite, no brochan spiosadach Morocanach le fe貌il-uain! Tha fiu's leann lite ann, agus chithear luchd-leantainn a' chi霉il a' cagnadh air briosgaidean bhrochain n貌sail aig an iomadh fh猫is chi霉il thall 's a-bhos air feadh na d霉thcha.
Join porridge enthusiast and keen amateur cook Alasdair MacLeod, as he takes a light-hearted look at the evolution of porridge, from humble meal to foodie breakfast of choice!
Porridge has long been a staple of the Scottish diet. A cheap and filling meal, for many it conjures up warm memories of childhood. Others though aren't quite so keen, and remember it as a lumpy, gloopy, and grey concoction! But love it or hate it, the once lowly porridge has enjoyed a huge surge in popularity and now enjoys a new reputation as a superfood. Indeed, the UK porridge market is currently valued at 拢171 million!
We visit the World Porridge Making Championships in Carrbridge to see who will claim the coveted Golden Spurtle. There we witness the traditional and modern faces of porridge, with the oaty breakfast being made to new and varied recipes featuring honey, blueberries, chocolate spread, porridge burgers, Morrocan spiced porridge and lamb! Nowadays there is even a beer made from oats, and at music festivals up and down the country, music revellers can be spotted chewing on trendy porridge bars.
