Hello fellow listers,
Again, am deviating from the usual stuff to request of anyone who can
remember the above porridge that would come in a tin which was painted
red if I remember correctly, with the Quaker printed on the outside. I
remember as a little girl I could not wait to open the tin, the smell of
the oats was the most delicious that I can recall! I would get so
impatient that sometimes I would just dig a tablespoon in and eat the
oats as was!!! I grew up on this for breakfast, but sadly cannot recall
the availability of these oats in India after the 50's. Can anyone tell
me where I can obtain this, if it is still available? Thank you.
Regards. Esther
