Gruel and unusual punishment. Wow, lol. And now we even know that’s actually historically accurate. 🤣👏👏👏

I didn’t know the poor were treated worse than the criminals even then. It’s insane how nothing in history ever changes and how much the rich have always hated the poor, from the beginning of history until today. They had “special use” for the criminals, so they’ve treated them a little better, the poor, however, have always been canon fodder in wars, lab rats in sickness and a herd for “thinning out” the rest of the time. The sooner we all realize this - the sooner we would have the chance to change something. I’m not a fan of any porridge, but I assume that anything with salt and butter in it, and boiled in clean water, would taste amazing to anyone who’s hungry. I was totally shocked when I visited Dublin in 2016 and learned that McDonald’s offer McPoridge for breakfast. Not just because I hated porridge much more then that’s I do now, but especially because McDonald’s in America serve maple-bacon-stuffed pancakes for their breakfast menu and the contrast was just WAY too weird.

I know that Americans call buckwheat “Kasha”, but Russians and all Eastern Europeans call any… gruel? (Any oats/seeds(?) cooked and softened in water…?) Kasha. So I imagines how your husband comes home and you, as the nice, Scottish-Slavic housewife, tell him: honey, there’s fresh Kashka in the stove… come eat. 😍🤣
