Oats are quite an amazing grain, one of our earliest cultivated crops. Dates back to antiquity. Oat meal as a cereal is fairly new though. a food brought about by poverty and eventually gaining acceptance world wide.
To really love oat meal, you need to know it is not just a cereal. Makes the base for excellent Granola, Pie toppings, breads, etc.
Good stuff, just don't use it only for cereal.
(I'm going to ask the South Dakota Grain Growers Association for payment for this post. Sell them my last sentence as a motto for them)
Brother Woodrow you are absolutely right, it isn't just a cereal, it is quite versitile, I even use it for a binder instead of bread crumbs in meatloaf.

I do that too. It also makes excellent breading for baked fish. I mix it with dill, spices and a little water to make it sticky and coat salmon with it before baking.
(now, what did I do with the phone number for the Grain Growers Association, we need to get paid for this thread)
Akhi Woodrow, thanks for the idea for fish. What spices do you normally use with the salmon. We have salmon on a regular basis.
