"Sissies" you say?

Let me remind ye, laddie, that my Scottish ancestors stripped naked and painted themselves blue before charging into battle, screaming and hacking and terrifying all who saw them. Oats it was that powered the Scottish berserkers, and ye'd be wise to never forget that fact.

I'd recommend baking your oats at 300 degrees for about half an hour and then see if your attitude doesn't change. A little maple syrup or brown sugar is nice, and of course dried fruit and nuts go nicely. The newfangled name is "granola", but it's an old custom.

Tastes good, without needing bacon grease and crisco to make it palatable, like grits do. Yeah, you left out the dark side of grits: The clogged arteries, heart attacks, and generally shorter life spans of those who subsist on "Southern cooking". God help you poor wretches.

Real men don't live long eating grits.
