In nineteenth century Scotland, a porridge drawer was a common feature in most
households, at least in the northeast part of the country. It was an empty drawer, usually
the top one in a chest of drawers, but sometimes a drawer in an end table or bedside
table. When being used, it was lined with waxed paper and filled with fresh porridge,
which was then allowed to set. Over the next few days anyone could break off a piece
whenever necessary. Children took a \u201cpiece of porridge\u201d to school for lunch. Farmers
might take a piece for their lunch if they were working fields relatively far away from the
house and didn\u2019t want to walk back and forth at lunchtime. It can be considered the
ancestor of the Granola bar.<\/p>\n
