Getting goods freshly milled or otherwise close to source is always so satisfying! And, Chef E, if you should make it over here, I will be around to be a witness/rescuer/whatever, never fear!

I visited an historic mill in Nickelsville VA when I was there, and they run it once a year, have a festival, selling the corn that is milled. My friend just told me she got me a bag they sell in old style bags, and I am so excited. I cannot imagine living near them and they run more often as part of your life…cool post! Just think when I hit Ireland again, you might have to come rescue me from the food people, since I will be dumpster diving remember, for free souvies :)
or ignoring my flight home and moving there, I can fake the accent well…

Kristen: it was very cool all ’round and good for them that porridge seems to be enjoying a real resurgence in popularity these days

OysterCulture: there is definitely something very virtuous about starting the day with oats; and as for potatoes and oats, if you started the day with oaty potato cakes, why then there would be no stopping you :D

Lori: it was a real treat to get to see the mill and it’s in such a lovely location too; meanwhile, I’ll have to see what else I can come up with for the competition :)

game: indeed, porridge is all of those things!

yasmeen: welcome & thanks – the muffins are pretty good, even if I do say so myself :)

Hi,
I love to take porridge in my breakfast.As Oats have a high content of complex carbohydrates and soluble fibre so they release energy slowly. A bowl of porridge for breakfast should provide the body with all the energy the body needs until lunch time.

Having always associated Waterford with crystal, now oats will come to mind. What a wonderful place! I’d love to see it in person. And what a great contest! Your muffins are sure to be in the running. The ginger and allspice flavors sound so great with the apples.

What fun. I love steel cut porridge for breakfast – the texture and substance makes me know I am starting my day off right. Of course with those yummy looking muffins, I’d be happy to double my intake.

What a beautiful spot for the factory. It looks like a Roman bridge. I’d be happy to have that as a view out of my window too!

Funny, I was about to add that it would be great to marry tatos with oats, and you had beaten me to it! Great story on the oats.

I love stories like this one. How cool to find a family run business that has lasted through generations, and nothing could be more fitting that oats. Gotta love that porridge.

Tangled Oaty Noodle: I think that a lot of people could develop porridge love with €1500 at stake! And no reason why breakfast muffins can’t share the stage with potato farls – we all need a little sweet/savoury balance in our lives :)

Velva: why thanks for dropping in and taking the time to read – glad you enjoyed it!

sarah: thanks for popping up to say hi, much appreciated

deeba: yay – so looking forward to the FBC, will be great to meet in person!
