If Scotsmen were stubborn about anything — and, in fact, they tended to be stubborn about quite number of things, truth be known — it was the virtues of oatmeal ‘parritch’ for breakfast.

Through eons of living in a land so poor there was little to eat but oats, they had as usual converted necessity into a virtue, and insisted that they liked the stuff.
