The History
The birthplace of oatmeal is reasonably considered to be Great Britain. In the country of Foggy Albion, the use of porridge has been elevated into a national tradition observed by conservative families. Porridge first appeared in the 16th century. It was made from grain crops, and when meat was added, it turned into chowder. The dish’s relevance has begun to increase in recent decades. Modern chefs have breathed new life into the dish, providing diners with experimental variations of the usual simple breakfast.
