Burgoo
This is nothing more than oatmeal porridge. As with suet pastry, the mixture is two to one: two cupful’s of water to one cupful of porridge oats. This will serve four people. Start with cold water in a saucepan and stir the oats into this gradually. Bring the mixture slowly to the boil, then simmer for about fifteen minutes., stirring all the time. When the oats have changed into a smooth mass, serve it with sugar and cream or butter and salt.
