Depends on the ambient temperature. :-)

I may have mentioned this before, but why not again... ;-)

A Scottish mate of mine often talks of his boyhood in Scotland decades
ago. One of his tales concerns Scottish porridge. It seems there is
a tradition there (in some parts at least) where you make a big batch
of the brew and pour it into a drawer in the sideboard where it
solidifies and can then be eaten over following days by simply slicing
a piece off the congealed mass as the mood takes you. (I must ask him
if they bother to reheat it.)

Cheers, Phred.
