porridge
This traditional Scottish breakfast, eaten throughout the British Isles usually divides its fans over whether it should be made with salt and water or milk and sugar. What is accepted is that it always contains oats, but its origins show that it was a dish based on leeks! We can go back to the word 'pottage' which is a kind of soup (compare Modern French'potage') made of meat and vegetables and an earlier word 'poree' in Old French, meaning 'leek soup' (compare it with Modern French: 'poireau' and Spanish 'puerro')
