Well, there is that one recipe that specifies "and lete non oatemeal come
therein", which since oatmeal is not a part of the dish, has been interpreted
as someone's way of saying that he'd had it with oatmeal and didn't like
it...or possibly that a rival cook made it that way.  Can't remember what the
recipe is right now.
