Promotional Corporate Hampers and a fine Porridge Recipe
It’s a personal mission of mine to educate Australia on how you make porridge.
We’ve all heard that wee boy on the Uncle Tobys’ ads protesting about the new fangled Instant Oats “that’s no how you make porridge” which was 25 years ago (ouch!) and he’s right, there are some things you can’t repackage but conversely a few that do rather well out of a re-imagining. Take promotional corporate hampers for instance where the whole is definately more that the sum of the parts.
Some things in life go well together like cheese and wine, and biscuits and dip. Also liver, fava beans and a nice chianti…
But when you’re unsure of exactly what to give a favoured client or winning team mates, a good idea is to choose a themed selection. Our promotional corporate hampers give you that inspiration and flexibility. The liver may only be manifest in a pate but it still goes well with the accompanying chianti!
Now, back on topic and the one thing you can’t repackage and brand – Scottish Porridge. I think many of the problems facing porridge stem from a poor job by the Scottish Food Export Board who should be marketing the stuff with scantily clad lads and lasses tossing cabers and wooing each other with “you’re pure dead brilliant, so yi are…”.
In the absence though of a hotbed of scintillating Scottish steaminess (is there even such a thing?!), it’s down to pure dead brilliant guys like me to illuminate the nation on exactly how you make porridge…

Cook Porridge long and slow, and only stir with a Spurtle
And, that’s it – give it a try and I guarantee it will change the way you make porridge. What’s the old saying…”in a world of change, it’s reassuring that some things remain the same”? That works for me.
there was no sugar cane or fruit in Scotland of old, only porridge, kippers and haggis
However if you don’t have the time and a bag of traditional porridge oats (which is an awkward way to woo a client anyway), a promotional corporate hamper is a healthy alternative.
