Their robust oat flavor, texture and ease of preparation plus proven nutritious benefits and cholesterol reduction make them a perfect breakfast. A few years back we learned of the World Championship Porridge Competition in Scotland called the Golden Spurtle. At that point we had yet to discover the spurtle – a centuries-old Scottish wooden porridge stirring implement. The Bobs Red Mill team traveled to Carrbridge, Scotland to compete in the Golden Spurtle World Porridge Championship. We competed against fourteen other teams from around the globe. Our teams belief in our porridge skills and our consistently superior oats never wavered. That crisp October morning all teams paraded through town behind a bagpipe band. After three heats of competition, we remained one of five finalists. All five finalists prepared their traditional recipe – oats, salt and water – for the judges. Finally, the announcement: Bobs Red Mill, is the new Golden Spurtle World Porridge Champion. The Bobs Red Mill Steel Cut Oats we knew to be superior were now proven the WORLDS BEST.
