  • Lyceum of Martial and Societal Antediluvian Chronicles
    The SAMS Lyceum of Martial and Societal Antediluvian Chronicles An addendum to The SAMS Sporran January 2012 Scottish History Real Scottish Food Everyone associates Haggis as the penultimate Scottish food. One cannot discount The Fried Mars Bar either. But is it really? Over the centuries the key to Scotland's survival and winning many battles has been oatmeal. It has sustained generations of Scots, and the image of ​ ​ the hardy Scot is almost entirely founded on oatmeal as a food. It is also a key ingredient in haggis. Before you dismiss this idea as foolish, stop and think. Refrigeration is a modern invention. So, food had to be either eaten immediately, smoked, salted for storage, kept warm or like chicken fried. Kitchens, or at least the fireplaces or hearths, where food was prepared, were large. One stood IN the hearth or fireplace to cook and stir the food. You probably grew up reciting the children's poem Peas Porridge. That is exactly how it was. For those of us who may ​ ​ have been culturally deprived: “Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold , peas porridge in the pot nine days old.” How did this work? First you layered stones, a lot of them, on the bottom of your fireplace. Then you built the fire over them and cooked your food. After the final meal of the day the fire would gradually die down but the stones remained hot. The warmth kept the food from spoiling. To prepare the next meal one only needed to “stoke “ the firestones, throw a little kindling, then wood and poof, you had fire.
