Gervase Markham has several pottages from the late 16th / early 17th
century (while the English Housewife is dated 1615, I believe, it's one
of his later works, and he had apparently been accused not of
plagiarizing someone else's work, but his own, from earlier works, so I
think he is acceptable for the tail end of late period). If I remember
correctly, at least one of the potttages in TEH contains oatmeal. I
think it's Boiled Meats Ordinary, but I could be wrong. I remember it as
a pottage of beef broth, cubed mutton or beef, herbs, and oats. Perhaps
the odd onion or two.
