Who first made porridge?
Porridge was first produced during the paleolithic by hunter-gatherers, in Southern Italy, but would become commonplace during the neolithic. The dish has traditionally been closely associated with Scotland, possibly because oats can be successfully cultivated on marginal upland soils.
