A light-hearted look at the evolution of porridge, from humble meal to foodie breakfast.

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 MacLeòid  an dà chuid fìor dhèidheil air lite, agus na shàr chòcaire neo-dhreuchdail.  Na chuideachd bheirsinn sùil shuigeartach air mar a tha brochan air fàs bho bhith na bhiadh irioslaich, gu bhith na roghainn de bhracaistean ann an saoghal bidhe an là 'n-diugh! 
Tha lite air a bhith aig cridhe beathana h-Alba fad iomadh bliadhna. Biadh saor agus sàthach, dha cuid tha e a' dusgadh iomadh cuimhne shona an òige. Chan e an aon duan dha cuid eile ge-tà - 's iad a' cuimhneachadh air measgachadh annasach a bha cnapach, sleamhainn agus glas na choltas! As bith dè ur beachd, ann an 2011 tha am brochan a' còrdadh ri barrachd is barrachd, 's air cliù ùr a chosnadh mar "sàr bhidhe".  Gu dearbha tha margaidheachd bhrochain na Rìoghachd Aonaichte luach  £171 millean an-dràsta!     
Tadhalaidh sinn air Farpais Bhrochain an t-Saoghail  ann an Drochaid Charra, agus chì sinn cò a thogas an 'spurtle òir'. An sin chì sinn mar a tha am brochan air a dhèanamh gu traidiseanta, agus an iomadh nòs agus car ùr a tha cuid a' toirt air san là 'n-diugh.  Bho bhith a' cur mil, blueberries, no teocaid na mheasg, gu burgairean lite, no brochan spiosadach Morocanach  le feòil-uain! Tha fiu's leann lite ann, agus chithear  luchd-leantainn a' chiùil a' cagnadh air  briosgaidean bhrochain nòsail aig an iomadh fhèis chiùil thall 's a-bhos air feadh na dùthcha.          
 
 
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 £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.
