Rules are based upon The Golden Spurtle World Porridge Making Champion that has been held in Carrbridge, Scotland since 1996.http://www.goldenspurtle.com/competition/
As our Competition is not golden, our rules are a watered down version.
A copy of the rules can be viewed and /or downloaded here. An event listing has been c eated on Facebook.
The Silver Spurtle will be awarded to the competitor producing the best traditional porridge, made from oatmeal (pinhead / steel cut, course, medium or fine)l, oat flakes or rolled oats. The only other two ingredients are Water and Salt. We will also award a Bronze Spurtle to second place and a Wooden Spurtle to THIRD Place.
Every competitor is required to produce at least 3 cups (750 ml.) of porridge so each judge will have a 1 cup portion to taste. Presentation bowls will be provided for each competitor so they can present their 3 porridge portions. The judges will be allowed to accompany the tasting with milk, cream, salt or brown sugar.
Judging of the porridge will be made on the methodology, trivia, consistency, taste and colour of the porridge. Click here to view scoring sheets.
Competitors, who prefer to ‘soak’ their oatmeal, may do so, but no prior cooking is allowed. All cooking must be done on-site.
All competitors must provide their favourite porridge pot, wooden spoon or
spurtle. No equipment, other than a stove and a hotplate will be provided by the organisers. IF YOU HAVE A HOT PLATE, PLEASE BRING ONE. :)
Depending upon number of competitors, heats may be set up. The organisers reserve the right to reserve number of entrants should the event be over-subscribed!!!! Competitors will be notified of the acceptance of their entry. All competitors must know that photographs will be taken, used on social media, and for promotion of future events.
