Whilst it's still summer, it will soon be autumn and time for one of Scotland's food competitions which takes place every October in Carrbridge in the Highlands. Yes, it's almost time for the World Porridge Making Championship.
A new documentary titled the Golden Spurtle, which took a at the festival and those involved had its premier at the Edinburgh film festival recently.
On this episode of Scran I do a deep dive into this competition. I am joined by Charlie Miller, organising and ex-Championship Chieftain, Constantine Consti, writer and director of The Golden Spurtle and Chris Ormiston, reigning porridge-making champion who is set to defend his title in October.
