Avenola, Toasted Wheat Flakes, Nut Rolls, and Gluten Meal, containing
30 per cent. to 60 per cent. Gluten, are among the other products of the
same firm--the International Health Association, Stanborough Park, Watford,
Herts--which I have space here only to name.
In the chapter on Breakfast Foods and elsewhere the various products of the
London Nut Food Co., 465 Battersea Park Road, London, S.W.--Grain
Granules, Gluten Meal, &c., are mentioned, besides which they have a
great variety of
Nut Cream Rolls and Nut Cream Biscuits,
made from pure wheat meal and shortened with nut butter. They are aerated
and free from yeast and chemicals. In the way of
PORRIDGES,
I should like to specially commend
Banana Oats
as being something quite new and appetising. It is very easily prepared,
requiring only about 10 minutes' cooking. It is put up in threepenny
packets, with which full directions for cooking are given. I may say that I
generally make of a stiffer consistency than quantities given, and cook
longer in double boiler.
Another good porridge for those who cannot take the regular oatmeal can be
made with
Robinson's Patent Groats.
This is best, to my thinking, when made as under:--Smooth two or three
tablespoonfuls groats in a basin with a little milk or water. Pour on
boiling milk or water--a cupful to each spoonful of groats--stirring the
while. Return to saucepan and cook gently for 10 to 15 minutes, or in
double boiler for about half an hour.
Manhu Wheat or Barley Porridge.
Take 1 part of the flaked wheat or barley to 2 parts water. Have the water
boiling and salted to taste. Add the cereal all at once, and boil for 5
minutes; only stir sufficiently to keep it from burning. It may now be
served, but is better if steamed half an hour or so longer in double boiler.
Serve with milk or cream and sugar, or salt as preferred. When served with
stewed fruit this makes a very wholesome dish. A mixture of the wheat and
barley makes a very good porridge.
The value of
Provost Oats
for porridge is too well known to need comment here. I would only remind
everyone that Provost Oats are prepared from the finest Scotch grain, and
Scotch oats are the finest in the world. But Provost Oats is not the only
product upon which Messrs Robinson & Sons rest their fame. More recently
they have put upon the market a very fine cereal food known as
Provost Nuts.
