Porridge
Porridge is a type of food made by boiling oats or other grains in water or milk. It is usually served hot, although it can also be eaten cold. Porridge can be made from many different kinds of grains, including wheat, rice, barley, and millet.
There is evidence that porridge has been eaten since prehistoric times. The word “porridge” comes from the Old English word for “bread porridge,” which was a dish made by boiling oats in water.
Porridge was a common food in medieval Europe, and was often eaten for breakfast. It was also given to children and the elderly as a way to keep them warm and to provide them with nutrients.
