Maybe you’re a fan of oatmeal and you’ve seen the selections at the supermarket. Lots of Quaker (various kinds), some store brands, and this stuff called McCann’s Irish Oatmeal in the real tins. And you may have wondered, is it really worth $6.99 (or whatever…usually double the price of any other kind)?
Well, the other day I decided before they start putting it in cheap, disposable plastic or something, that I’d try McCann’s and in the process, get myself a real tin to save forever. I paid the seemingly extravagant price and went home and had some right then and there at 9:00 at night. I can tell you, McCann’s Irish Oatmeal is worth the money. This is the best oatmeal around (ok, I’m sure someone out there knows of even better stuff available at some exclusive, boutique grocery store — I’m talking mainstream availability here). You have not had oatmeal ’til you’ve had this.
Not only is it worth the money, it’s also worth the 30 minutes and whatever gas or electricity it takes to prepare it. Do youself a favor. Stop looking at it and buy it. You know you want to. I had mine today with maple syrup and 1% milk.
