 While shopping on the bulk foods aisle at Whole Foods today, I came across 
 "Oat Groats" on sale for 99-cents a pound.  I didn't even know I wanted 
 these, until I saw them. They'd probably be more correct than rolled oats in 
 the various oat frumenty type recipes in the Markham and Digby books I am 
 currently studying. Am I right about this?

In the same vein, I going to be doing early Norse and Irish this spring and 
have begun using what my bulk food store calls "Medium Scotch Oatmeal", which 
is not rolled oats, but I'm not sure where it falls in the spectrum of period 
oats. Is anyone out there familiar with this product and can they compare it 
to what might be a period oat usable for cooking?
