I checked the post about “Oatmeal Monday” and it explains an old Scottish university tradition that goes back to the 1600s, when students often had to travel back home periodically to restock basic food supplies like oatmeal, which was a staple part of their diet at the time. The idea became known as a kind of regular break day linked to education and survival needs, and it reflects how student life used to be much more practical and dependent on home provisions compared to today. The post also connects the tradition to Scottish heritage and how simple food customs helped shape cultural identity over time. It’s interesting how something so basic like oatmeal became part of a wider educational tradition…
