Here is a picture of the two compared outside of jars
You can't tell much difference on a piece of paper; but in the jar you can
see that there is a lot of the Irish oats broken up, whereas the Scottish
flakes are pretty well intact.

We had Irish yesterday and Scottish today.
As indicated by the pictures, the texture (with closely-copied cooking) of
the Irish was mushey, and the Scottish retained the flakes.

Was fun to do,
