Can you buy groats anymore ? It is a form of oatmeal so perhaps rough oats could replace it.

I had a Christmas drink one time made of oatmeal and scotch whisky, has anybody heard of it or know what its called ?. It was a Scottish drink of course

The name groat was given in the Middle Ages to all thick silver coins, as opposed to thin silver coins such as deniers or pennies. ...

Groats are the hulled grains of various cereals, such as oats, wheat, barley or buckwheat (which is actually a pseudocereal). Groats from oats are a good source of avenanthramote

The groat was a four pence piece that knocked around England, Scotland, and Ireland from the early 1400's right up to the late 1800's.

I think they are still minted but no longer legal tender. Doesn't the Queen hand groats out as Maundy money to the poor on Maundy Thursday. I know she used to. Perhaps she finds times too hard now.

OK I'll let pseudocereal go because I'm no farmer or botanist, but what the heck is avenanthramote? It sounds like something nasty you can catch while pursuing ladies of the evening.  :-[

Avenanthramides are a type of oat phytoalexins that exist predominantly in the groats of oat seeds.[
