SNIPPET: Per advertising on a pretty tin I saved a few years ago here in the States: John McCANN Steel Cut Oat Meal won a Certificate of Award at the International Exhibition in 1876, Group IV, United States Centennial Commission, Philadelphia, PA, 27 Sept 1876. On the 28th of June 1894, they received recognition from the World's Columbian Exhibition, Chicago, 1893. John McCann's Steel Cut Irish Oat Meal was awarded a Certificate of Award for "Uniformity of Granulation." "Traditionally served with fresh buttermilk, Irish porridge is also good with milk or cream and brown sugar or honey or with butter and has a rich nutty flavor"
