Oat Meal

[overherebc]

Would love to find real oatmeal if I can. Not the stuff you make porridge with.

Boiled new potatos with loads of butter and a hand ful of real oatmeal would take me back years.

You need to be more precise. You can make porridge out of any of the common types of oatmeal. Perhaps you mean "steel cut oatmeal" or "rolled oats"? Both, however, are usually available at the likes of Villa. McGarrett brand. There's also a German brand for which I can't remember the name which they stock in TOPS. Something like Haier or Hainer?

I am, however, intrigued by the idea of throwing oatmeal over boiled potatoes. Never heard of this. Do you toast it first? Or is it just raw?

Villa is a good choice for all varieties of oats... steel cut, rolled, other...

The other brand mentioned above is Hahne, which sells a variety of bagged and boxed muesli and grain products here.

Tesco Lotus sells oatmeal. Two types: "fine" and "coarse" rolled oats. 49 baht for 500g

Boiled new potatos with loads of butter and a hand ful of real oatmeal

You might like to try this: Mashed potatoes with onions and oats!

• 1 kg floury potato
  
• 85 g butter
  
• 2 onions, finely chopped
  
• 50 g medium oatmeal (not flakes)
  
• 6 tablespoons double cream
  
• salt
  
• white pepper
  
• fresh curly-leaf parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)
  

1. Boil the potatoes until very tender, about 20 minutes.
   
2. Meanwhile, heat the butter in a frying pan, add the onion and cook for 10 mins until golden and soft. Add the oatmeal and stir until the butter is absorbed and the mix looks dry. Continue cooking until it is toasted, stirring around the pan all the time for 5 mins, but do not let it catch and burn. Remove and keep warm.
   
3. Drain the potatoes, return to the hot pan and mash really well. Beat in the cream, parsley and the fried onion and oats, then season to taste with salt and white pepper.
   
4. Serve immediately before it softens.

The oat meal I mean can't be used for porridge, it's a more granular type of the oats. Many different names out there but all I have seen would be called "rolled oats", look like small flakes.

Reminds me of an Irish dish called "Champ" quite often done with a hollow made in the middle, drop in an egg then quick grill.

I live in Chiang Mai and I've been looking for steel cut oats (Irish Oatmeal) and haven't found any. Both McGarret and the German brand offer various kinds of rolled oats, but not steel-cut. Are you sure that McGarret offers this variety? If so, I'm sure I can get Rim Ping to order it.

Actually, before rolled oats were invented, the granular kind was used to make porridge and it still is. Either whole oat groats or steel-cut. Americans often call it Irish Oatmeal. It takes a lot more cooking but has a really great flavor. My mother used to make it the night before and then let it sit overnight to develop the flavor.

Foodland Soi 16 Sukhumvit has a good selection. I buy Nature's Path Organic Instant Hot Oatmeal, which they have in several flavors. The stuff is made in America.

I love oatmeal I'm glad it can be found in BKK. For those who don't know Colloidal Oatmeal works great to help relieve dry, skin patches (Eczema), psoriasis, acne, bug bites, sunburns, and other minor skin irritations. It also helps relieve chicken pox, poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and other itching and scratching rashes.

You simply grind regular oatmeal to powder form and add it to your bath or make a paste and put it on a bug bite or your face, you'll love it . Aveeno sells packets of powdered oatmeal for a small fortune.
