Scott's Porage Oats is a Scottish breakfast cereal (a brand of porridge) sold in the United Kingdom. == History of the brand == Porridge has been consumed in Scotland as a staple food since the Middle Ages, and is primarily consumed in the winter. A&R Scott began producing Scott's Midlothian Oat Flour in 1880, in Glasgow,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scott's Porage - Our Heritage )〕 moving to Edinburgh in 1909, and the distinctive name, Scott's Porage Oats, was adopted in 1914.〔 They have been milled at the Uthrogle Mills〔''Food trades directory of the UK & Europe, Volume 1'', Newman Books, 1997, p.361〕 at Cupar in Fife, Scotland, since 1947.〔 In 1982, A&R Scott was purchased by Quaker Oats Ltd, one of their main competitors. The company was based in Edinburgh. Pepsico merged with the Quaker Oats Company in 2001. Sales of porridge oats continue to be higher in Scotland than in the rest of the UK, with Scott's Porage Oats taking the highest brand share.〔Mintel 2002〕 The company holds a Scott's Porage Oats Food & Drink Fair at the St Andrews Festival in November each year at the Byre Theatre. It has a ''Golden Spurtle Award'' for competitive porridge making.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Golden Spurtle World Porridge Making Championship )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scott's Porage Oats」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
