A Scottish food made of oatmeal mixed with boiling water or broth, often made with butter and served as porridge or soup.
From Scots 'brose' or 'braw', possibly from Old Norse 'brenna' (to burn or brew). A traditional Scottish dish with ancient roots.
Brose was a survival food—filling, quick, and made from staples that kept—and it was so important to Scottish culture that it spawned sayings like 'caudle brose' and appears in literature from Robert Burns to modern Scottish fiction.
