More likely, there were already thousands of years of experience with boiled grains and related processing of grains to experiment with, and notice the results of, including fermentation, baking, and other heat-related consequences of particulate and processed wheat grain.
Just like the experience of fermented milk / yoghurt / cheese -- thousands of years of experience with the possibilities.
Refrigeration is not comfortable to tent-dwelling nomads.
- mirimir 8y agoOatmeal fried with lots of butter, plus fruit and honey or maple syrup, is very tasty.
- yesiamyourdad 8y agoMy recipe for oatmeal: take water, raisins, and nuts if I have them, nuts, bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let cool. Irish oats are awesome this way done overnight. Do it in a crockpot with a large amount and you'll eat for a week (peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot, nine days old). I'm hungry in the morning. Easy and a little bit sweet works well.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoI've only ever seen that rhyme as "pease pudding hot, ...". Pease, AIUI, is mixed legumes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pease_pudding https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pease_pudding
- Ensorceled 8y agoThis is literally the first time I’ve heard the rhyme as “pudding”... it’s always been “pease porridge hot,” in our family for at least five generations now.
