brits used to deride oats as horse feed because they hated the scottish or something, maybe we inherited that
I thought it was a classism thing because oats and/or whatever grains available were used to make prole-slop gruel to feed to the child labour slaves in the poorhouses during the industrial revolution. Maybe they got knackered together because of Charles Dickens making gruel synonymous with worker exploitation.
There’s probably a racism element too, because we’re talking about the British.
