Steel cut oats have always been a universal customer favorite at Bob's Red Mill. Their robust oat flavor, texture and ease of preparation plus proven nutritious benefit 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 Bob's Red Mill team traveled to Carrbridge, Scotland to compete in the World Porridge Championship. We competed against fourteen other teams from around the globe. Our team's 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: Bob's Red Mill is the new Golden Spurtle World Porridge Champion.
